Instructions: Show all your work for full marks

1. (12 marks): (a) Solve for x (do not approximate): 32x + 2 · 3x+1 = 16 .
(b) Let f (x) = log2 (3 − x) and g(x) = 4x2 − 1. Find the composite
function f ◦ g and determine its domain and its range.

(c) Let f (x) = . Find the inverse function f −1 (x),
2 + 4x
and determine the range of f (x) and the range of f −1 (x).

2. (6 marks) Find (a) all horizontal and (b) all vertical asymptotes of the graph
√
x2 9x2 + 6
y=
(2x + 3)(x + 1)2

3. (8 marks) Find the limit or explain why the limit does not exist:
√

parameter, and calculate the value of f 00 (x) at x = 0, i.e. calculate f 00 (0) .
