Lesson 3 - Functions Extension Activity Sheet

The document contains problems involving functions and their inverses. It defines several functions - f(x)=2x-3, g(x)=(x+4)/3, h(x)=2/(x-5) - and asks questions about finding their values when equal to each other, domains and ranges. It also contains a graph of a function and asks to express the function in terms of x and find values. Finally, it asks to express compositions of functions g(x)=2x+5 in terms of x.

1. Find the value of x for which f (x) = g(x)
x+4
2x - 3 = 3
6x - 9 = x + 4
x = 2.6

2. Find the value of x for which h (x) = g (x)


x
-5= x+4
2 3
3x - 30 = 2x + 8
x=38

3. Find the value of x for which f-1 (x) = 2h (x)


f multiplies by 2 then subtracts 3. The inverse function adds 3 then divides by 2. f-1 (x) = x + 3

x + 3 = 2x - 20
x = 23

4. Find the value of x for which h-1 (x) = f-1 (x)


h divides by 2 then subtracts 5. The inverse function adds 5 then multiplies by 2. h-1 (x) = 2(x + 5)
x+3
2 (x + 5) = 2
4x + 20 = x + 3
3x = -17
-17
x= 3

5. f (x) = 2x + 3; when x > 5, find the range of possible values of f (x), giving your answer using an
inequality.
x>5
2x > 10
2x + 3 > 13
f (x) > 13

6. f (x) = x2; find the range of possible values of f (x), giving your answer using an inequality.
f (x) ≥ 0, since the result of multiplying any number by itself cannot be negative.

7. a) Express f(x) in terms of x


f (x) = 2x + 2

b) Find f (2)
f (2) = 2 × 2 + 2 = 6 or from graph

c) Find f (7)
f (7) = 2 × 7 + 2 = 16

8. g (x) = 2x + 5.

a) Express g (2x) in terms of x.


g (2x) = 2 (2x) + 5 = 4x + 5

b) Express g (3x + 5) in terms of x.


g (3x + 5) = 2 (3x + 5) + 5 = 6x + 15
