Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 7
a) This relation is not a function.
Domain is $left{1,2,4 right}$

Range is $left{ 2,3,4,5right}$

The value 2 of the independent variable maps
to two different values 3 and 4 of the dependent variable
This relation is not a function.

Step 2
2 of 7
b) This relation is a function.
Domain is $left{-2,0,3,7 right}$

Range is $left{ -1,1,3,4right}$

This relation is a function because each element of the domain corresponds with only one element in the range

Step 3
3 of 7
c) This relation is a function.
Domain of this function is the set of x-coordinates, and range of this function is the set of y-coordinates.

Any vertical line drawn on the graph intersects the graph at only
one point. This is the graph of a function.

Step 4
4 of 7
d) This relation is not a function.
Domain of this relation is the set of x-coordinates, and range of this relation is the set of y-coordinates. In this case, for one x-coordinate we can found two y-coordinates. At least one vertical line drawn on
the graph intersects the graph at two points. This is not the graph of a function
Step 5
5 of 7
e) This relation is a function
Domain of this relation is the set of x-coordinates, and range of this relation is the set of y-coordinates. In this case, for each x-coordinate we can found only one y-coordinate.

For example, if $x=4$, then $y=-(4-3)^{2}+5=-1^{2}+5=-1+5=4$

Step 6
6 of 7
f) This relation is a function
Domain of this relation is the set $left{ xin R| xgeq4right}$, and range of this relation is the set $left{yin R |ygeq0 right}$. In this case, for each x-coordinate we can found only one y-coordinate.

For example, if $x=13$, then $y=sqrt{13-4}=sqrt{9}=3$

a) not a function

b) function

c) function

d) not a function

e) function

f) function

Exercise 2
Step 1
1 of 3
Relation is $x^{2}+y=4$

Substitute $x=0$ into equation $x^{2}+y=4$, now we get:

$0^{2}+y=4$

$0+y=4$

$y=4$

Substitute $x=-2$ into equation $x^{2}+y=4$, now we get:

$(-2)^{2}+y=4$

$4+y=4$

$y=4-4$

$y=0$

This is a function because for each value $x$ we get only one value of $y$.

see graph: any vertical line drawn on the graph intersects the graph at only one point. This is the graph of a function.Exercise scan
Step 2
2 of 3
Relation is $x^{2}+y^{2}=4$

Substitute $x=0$ into equation $x^{2}+y^{2}=4$, now we get:

$0^{2}+y^{2}=4$

$y^{2}=4$

$y=pm sqrt{4}$

$y=pm2$

so, if $x=0$, then , $y=-2$ or $y=2$

Substitute $x=-2$ into equation $x^{2}+y^{2}=4$, now we get:

$(-2)^{2}+y^{2}=4$

$4+y^{2}=4$

$y^{2}=0$

$y=0$

This is a not a function because for $x=0$ we get two values of $y$

Step 2

b)

If $x=-3$, then
$f(-3)=-2(-3+1)^{2}+3=-2(-2)^{2}+3=-2cdot4+3=-8+3=-5$

Step 3

c) On the graph, $f(-3)$ represent y-coordinate of the point on the graph whit x-coordinate is -3. This is the point $(-3, f(-3))$ or $(-3,-5)$ (see graph)
Step 4

d)

i) The first , we need determine $f(1)$ and $f(0)$

If $x=0$, then $f(0)=-2(0+1)^{2}+3=-2cdot1^{2}+3=-2+3=1$

If $x=1$, then $f(1)=-2(1+1)^{2}+3=-2cdot2^{2}+3=-8+3=-5$

Now, can determine:

$f(1)-f(0)=-5-1=-6$

ii) We need determine $f(2)$

If $x=2$, then $f(2)=-2(2+1)^{2}+3=-2cdot3^{2}+3=-18+3=-15$

Now can calculate:

$3cdot f(2)-5=3cdot(-15)-5=-45-5=-50$

iii) $f(2-x)=-2(2-x+1)^{2}+3=-2cdot(3-x)^{2}+3$

Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 4
a) Think of a number $x$, multiply by 5 and subtract from 20, and the finaly, multiply by the number $x$

Function is $f(x)=(20-5x)x$

Step 2
2 of 4
b) To find $f(1)$ , plug in 1 wherever $x$ occures in the equation of $f(x)$ and simplify to get $f(1)$

$f(1)=(20-5cdot1)cdot1=(20-5)cdot1=15cdot1=15$

To find $f(-1)$ , plug in -1 wherever $x$ occures in the equation of $f(x)$ and simplify to get $f(-1)$

$f(-1)=(20-5cdot(-1))cdot(-1)=(20+5)cdot(-1)=25cdot(-1)=-25$

To find $f(7)$ , plug in 7 wherever $x$ occures in the equation of $f(x)$ and simplify to get $f(7)$

$f(7)=(20-5cdot7)cdot7=(20-35)cdot7=-15cdot7=-105$

Step 3
3 of 4
Quadratic function has maximum value in the point $(dfrac{-b}{2a}, f(dfrac{-b}{2a}))$

Our quadratic function is $f(x)=(20-5x)x$ or $f(x)=-5x^{2}+20x$

There is $a=-5,$ and $b=20$. Now can calculate:

$dfrac{-b}{2a}=dfrac{-20}{2(-5)}=dfrac{-20}{-10}=2$

Now we need calculate $f(-dfrac{b}{2a})$:

$f(dfrac{-b}{2a})=f(2)=(20-5cdot2)cdot2=(20-10)cdot2=10cdot2=20$

Now can conclude: Quadratic function
$f(x)=(20-5x)x$ has maximum in the point $(2,20)$. That means, the maximum result possible is 20.

Result

a) $f(x)=(20-5x)x$

b) 15, $-25$, $-105$

c) 20

Exercise 7
Step 1

Let $w$ be the width and $l$ be the length of the rectangle. Sketch the situation as follows.

Exercise scan

Step 2
2 of 5
a) From the diagram, the fencing needed is $4w$ and $2l$. Therefore,

$4w+2l=600$

Express $l$ in terms of $w$

$l=dfrac{600-4w}{2}$

The area of a rectangle is $ltimes w$

$A=lw$

$A=left( dfrac{600-4w}{2}right)w$

$$
A=w(300-2w)
$$

Step 3
3 of 5
b) We can sketch the graph of this function to determine domain and range.

We also know that both width $w$ and area $A$ must be more than zero. The upper limit can be obtained from the graph.

domain = ${ winbold{R};|;0<w<150}$

range = ${ Ainbold{R};|;0<Aleq 11,250}$
