C3 Semester 1 2014

This document contains 6 math problems involving functions, graphs, equations, and rates of change. 1) Find an expression for f(x) given piecewise definitions and show that a fraction equals a rational expression. 2) Sketch graphs, find solutions to equations, and use iteration to approximate a value. 3) Use an exponential cooling model to find temperature values over time, rates of change, and limiting temperatures for a cup of tea. 4) Express trigonometric functions in standard form, find maximum values, and use previous results. 5) Find the domains and ranges of functions and prove no values satisfy an equation involving the functions. 6) Sketch a graph
