1. Let f : [0,
√ ∞) → [0, ∞) be defined by, f (x) := x for all x ∈ [0, ∞), g : [0, ∞) → R be defined by,
g(x) := x for all x ∈ [0, ∞) and h : [0, ∞) → [0, ∞) be defined by h(x) := x2 for each x ∈ [0, ∞).
For each of the following (i) state whether the function is defined - if it is then; (ii) state its domain;
(iii) state its codomain; (iv) state the natural domain for the formula.

(a) f ◦ g (b) g ◦ f (c) h ◦ f (d) f ◦ h.

2. Using only the 5 properties of “≤” given in Axiom 0.1.3 on page 8 of the coursebook, show that
for any a, b, c, d ∈ R, if a ≤ b and c ≤ d then a + c ≤ b + d.
Is it true that for any a, b, c, d ∈ R, if a ≤ b and c ≤ d then ac ≤ bd. If it is true, show the result
using only the 5 properties of “≤” given in Axiom 0.1.3 on page 8 of the coursebook. If you think
it is false, give an example to show this.

3. Write down the natural domain of the following formula, both in terms of interval notation and
set-builder notation. √
x loge (π − |x − π|)
f (x) := p .
1 + cos(x)

−1 −1
4. Find all solutions to: cos(3x + π/4) = √ . Hint: First find all solutions to: cos(x) = √ .
2 2

5. Find all x ∈ [0, 2π] such that: cos2 (x) + (3/2) sin(x) − (3/2) = 0.

6. Find all solutions to: x3 + 11x > |6x2 + 6|.

7. Suppose that 0 < a < 1. Find all solutions to: 3 loga (x − 1) − loga (x + 1) = loga (x2 − 2x + 1) + 1.
