1. Determine whether the mapping is a function or not. Give a reason for your answer.

(a)

(b)

2. What is the difference between an injective function and a bijective function?

3. Why is a bijective function said to be both injective and surjective?

4. Determine the domain and the range of g(x) = 4x2 + 2.

5. For each case provided below, determine the values that must be excluded from the set
of inputs so that the case becomes a function. In each case the input values are real
numbers.

(a) f (x) = x
− 30.
4x2 +3x
(b) h(x) = x2 +2x+1
+ 4.

6. Determine the inverse of

7. Consider the functions f (x) = x
− 2, g(x) = 2x − 1, k(x) = e2x+1 , and h(x) = ln[2x + 1]
where x > 0. Determine

(a) (f −1 ◦ g) (x).
(b) (g ◦ f )−1 (2).
(c) k −1 (x).
(d) h−1 (x).

8. In each case below determine whether the domain needs to be restricted in order to have
an inverse function. How would you restrict the domain?

(a) g(x) = x3
(b) v(x) = 5 − x2

9. Consider the graph of f (x) provided below.

Determine whether the inverse function exists or not? Give a reason.
