1. Task 1.

Identifying the domain and range.

From the graph we can see that there is no restriction for the graph. So the domain of the

graph is -x to x.

The range of the graph is also -x to x.

ii. The graph represents a function because l see that every x- value corresponds to -y value.

iii. The function is not a one to one function because q function becomes a one to one function if

each x -value corresponds to exactly one y- value and each y- value corresponds to exactly one

x-value. However, in the graph we see that when y=4 there are 3 x -values that clearly shows that

a function is not a -one to -one function.

Task 2.

Graph : E(p)=p -10000.


ii) Yes, E(P) is a function of P, because here, for each value of P (production), there is exactly

one value of E (export).

iii) The domain and range of E( p).

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (P in this case), while the range is

the set of all possible output values (E in this case).

The domain of E(P) is all real numbers except -5/7, because the denominator of the function

becomes zero at P = -5/7, which is undefined in real numbers.

The range of E(P) is all real numbers because the numerator of the function can take any real

number value and the denominator will never be zero (except at P = -5/7, which is not in the

domain).

iv) Export for 70 and 20 thousand of production

To find the export for a given production, substitute the value of P into the function E(P).

When 70.000 avocados are produced,9.286 avocados are exported.E(70)= (70)-5/7=9.286

When 20.000 avocados are produced,2.143 avocados are exported. E(20)=(20)-5/7=2.143

V) In this problem, the independent variable is P (production of avocados), and the dependent

variable is E (export of avocados). The export of avocados depends on the production of

avocados.
Task 3.

Calculating the rates of change in length concerning weight for both categories.

For function f: Rate of change

= (25-0)/(5-0) = 5 tons/foot.

For function g: Rate of change = -5x.

Conclusion: f has a constant rate of change, while g has a linearly decreasing rate.

Calculating the slopes of lines CD and EF.

Let C(2,10), D(4,20), E(6,30), F(8,40).

Slope CD = (20-10)/(4-2) = 5.

Slope EF = (40-30)/(8-6) = 5.

Insight: The slopes of CD and EF are the same, indicating a consistent rate of change in length

concerning weight for both animals.

Task 4.

Identifying the points of interest on the graph: E=(1, 570796326768), G=(7.8539816339953, 1),

F=(4.712, -12)

Local extrema occur at points where the function reaches a maximum or minimum value. E is a

maximum, F is a minimum, G is neither

Intervals of extrema:

 E: Increasing.
 F: Decreasing.

 G: lncreasing.

Task 5.

1)Piecewise Function Representation

The income tax rule in country 'W' can be represented as a Piecewise function as follows:

f(x) = 0.10x, 0 ≤ x ≤ 2200

0.185x, if 2200 < x ≤ 8945

0.30x, if x > 8945

Here, x represents the income of a person and f(x) represents the tax on that income.

2 Tax Calculation for Each Segment

Let's take three incomes, one from each slab:

i)An income of $2000 from the first slab.

ii)An income of $5000 from the second slab.

iii)An income of $10000 from the third slab.

The tax for each segment can be calculated as follows:

i)For the first slab: f(2000) = 0.10 * 2000 = $200

ii)For the second slab: f(5000) = 0.185 * 5000 = $925

iii)For the third slab: f(10000) = 0.30 * 10000 = $3000


So, a person with an income of $2000 will pay $200 in taxes, a person with an income of $5000

will pay $925 in taxes, and a person with an income of $10000 will pay $3000 in taxes.
