1.1 Determine whether the equation below defines y as a function of x.

(a) x = y 3 + 1 [3]

(b) 3|x + 1| + y 2 = 0 [3]

1.2 Sketch the Cartesian product R × {−1, 1} and highlight a subset which is a graph of a
function. [6]

1.3 Determine the largest possible domains of the following functions.


r
x
(a) f (x) = [8]
x2 − 8x + 15

21
(b) f (x) = √ [6]
− x+2

1.4 Determine the range of f (x) = . [6]
1 + x2

1.5 Let f : X → Y and g : Y → Z be functions. Prove that if f and g are both one-to-one
functions, then g ◦ f is one-to-one. [6].

1.6 Determine algebraically whether the following functions are injective (one-to-one).

√
(a) f (x) = x2 + 3 [4]

2x
(b) g(x) = [4]
x+1
√
1.7 Given that f (x) = x + 2 and g(x) = |x| + 5. Evaluate

(i) f (−1) [2]

(ii) (f ◦ g)(a + h). [4]

1.8 Sketch the graph of [5]




 −9 if x ≤ 0,





h(x) = x2 − 9 if 0 < x ≤ 2,






−x if x > 2

Question 2.
√
2.1 State whether H(x) = 4x2 + 3x + x is a polynomial or not; if not, give reasons why. [3]

2.2 Consider h(x) = −3x2 − 8x + 3. Find (i) intercepts (ii) end behaviors, and (iii) sketch the
graph of h. [3,2,3]

x2 − 4
2.3 Consider a rational function r(x) = . Find
x3 − 2x2 − 3x
