Functions Homework

The document outlines a homework assignment focused on functions, requiring students to determine domains and ranges of composite functions, as well as to find specific values where two functions are equal. It includes problems related to defining functions, finding inverses, and explaining poorly defined functions, along with conditions for one-to-one mappings. Additionally, it asks for sketches of certain functions and their ranges within specified domains.

Functions Homework

Skills Section:
For each part state the domain and the range of the composite functions. Use function sketches to show your working,
think about which values are valid in the domain.

In each case state the domain and the range of f and f -1


Problem Solving

1) The functions f and g are defined by


𝑓: 𝑥 ⟼ 𝑥 2 + 6𝑥 {𝑥 ∈ ℝ}, 𝑔: 𝑥 ⟼ 2𝑥 − 1 {𝑥 ∈ ℝ},

Find the two values of x such that fg(x) = gf(x), giving each answer in the form
p + q√3.

2) The function f is defined by 𝑓: 𝑥 ⟼ 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 7 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑜𝑚𝑎𝑖𝑛 {𝑥 ∈ ℝ; 𝑥 ≤ 𝑘}.


Given that f is a one-to-one function, find the greatest possible value of k and find
the inverse function f-1 .

7) Explain why each of the following functions are poorly defined, adapt the definition to
make it proper. State the type of mapping in each case.

i) 𝑓: ℝ → ℝ, 𝑥 ↦ ln (𝑥)
ii) 𝑔: ℝ → ℝ+ , 𝑥 ↦ ln (𝑥)
iii) ℎ: ℝ → ℝ, 𝑥 ↦ d(𝑥), 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑑(𝑥) 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑥.

(-3,10)
c) {−5 < 𝑥 ≤ 2}
d) {−5 < 𝑥 ≤ 5}
(2,0)
e) {−5 < 𝑥 ≤ 5}
(-5,0) (5,0)
f) {−3 < 𝑥 ≤ 4}

g) {𝑥 ≤ −5}
h) {𝑥 ≤ −3}⋃{𝑥 > 5}
i) {𝑥 ≤ −5}⋃{𝑥 > 5}
j) {𝑥 ≤ −3}⋃{𝑥 > 3}
Extension:
The function int(x), sometimes called the integer part of x, is defined to be the greatest
integer less than or equal to x.
Sketch the graphs of y = int(x) and y = x – int(x) for the domain -2 ≤ x ≤ 3. What are the
ranges of y = int (x) and y = x – int(x) for this domain?
