Questions:

2. Let f (x) = 3x2 + 4x + 2 and f (g(x)) = 12x2 + 20x + 9, find g(x).
3. Find the value of x, if 2x + 2x−1 = 3.
4. Find the distance between the lines l1 : x − y + 1 = 0 and, l2 : 2x − 2y = 3.

segment.
6. Find the equation of the circle containing the points (1, 2), (2, −1) and (4, 5).

horizontally. The distance between two towers is 1500 ft, the points of support of the cable on the
towers are 200ft above the road way and the lowest point on the cable is 70ft above the roadway.
Find the vertical distance to the cable (parallel to the roadway) from a pole whose height is 122 ft.
8. Find the equation of an ellipse passing through (−4, 0) with foci at (0, 0) and (−1, 4).

(b) 2x2 − 5xy + 3y 2 − x + y = 4
(c) 4y 2 − 4y + 28x + 29 = 0
(d) 4x2 + y 2 − 6x + 5 = 0
