2 CHAPTER ONE Hughes Hallett et al c 005, John Wile & Sons ConcepTests and Answers and Comments for Section.. Which of the following functions has its domain identical with its range? (a) f() = (b) g() = (c) h() = (d) i() = (b) and (c). For g() =, the domain and range are all nonnegative numbers, and for h() =, the domain and range are all real numbers. It is worth considering the domain and range for all choices.. Which of the following functions have identical domains? (a) f() = (b) g() = / (c) h() = (d) i() = (e) j() = ln (a), (c), and (d) give functions which have the domain of all real numbers, while (b) and (e) give functions whose domain consists of all positive numbers. For alternate choices, replace (a) with / and (e) with ln.. Which of the following functions have identical ranges? (a) f() = (b) g() = / (c) h() = (d) i() = (e) j() = ln (a) and (d) give functions which have the identical range of nonnegative numbers. (c) and (e) also give functions which have the same range all real numbers. You could have students find a function with the same range as (b) : / for eample.

3 CHAPTER ONE Hughes Hallett et al c 009, John Wile & Sons. Which of the graphs is that of = /? (b) (c) (d) (d). / is not defined at = 0. This is where ou could emphasize that the domain is a crucial part of the definition of a function. Follow-up Question. { Give another formula for the function = /., 0 Answer. = undefined, = The slope of the line connecting the points (, ) and (, 8) is (a) (b) (c) (d) (d). rise run = 8 = =. You might point out in finding slopes, the order of the points in the ratio ( )/( ) is immaterial.

4 CHAPTER ONE Hughes Hallett et al c 005, John Wile & Sons 6. Put the following linear functions in order of increasing slope. (a) = π + 9 (b) = + (c) = 0 (d) = (e) = (f) = 00 (c), (f), (e), (d), (b), (a). In order to put the lines in the correct order, consider the slope of each function. This question was used as an elimination question in a classroom session modeled after Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, replacing Millionaire b Mathematician. 7. List the lines in the figure below in the order of increasing slope. (The graphs are shown in identical windows.) (a) (b) (c) (d) (b), (c), (a), (d). You ma want to point out the difference between slope (numerical values) and steepness (absolute value of the slope).

5 8. Which of the following lines have the same slope? (a) = + (b) = 9 + (c) = + 6 (d) = 6 + CHAPTER ONE Hughes Hallett et al c 009, John Wile & Sons 5 (a), (b), and (d). Solving for in the last three choices gives = +, = +, and = +. Thus (a), (b), and (d) have the same slope,. You could point out that (a) and (d) are the same line. 9. Which of the following tables could represent linear functions? (a) f() (b) g() 9 6 (c) h() (d) j() (b). This is the onl table with a constant difference,, for the same increase in. Therefore, (b) is the onl one representing a linear function. You could point out that (d) fails to be a linear function because the slope between consecutive points is not constant. This happens even though the function values increase b constant amounts because the values do not increase b constant amounts. 0. Which of the following lines have the same vertical intercept? (a) = + (b) = 9 + (c) = + 6 (d) = 6 + (a), (c), and (d). Solving for in the last three choices gives = +, = +, and = +. Thus (a), (c), and (d) have the same vertical intercept,. You could graph these four equations and then ask about the intercept.. Ever line has a vertical intercept. (a) True (b) False (b). The line = a, where a 0, does not have a vertical intercept. Note that ever non-vertical line has a vertical intercept.. Ever line has a horizontal intercept. (a) True (b) False (b). The line = a where a 0, does not have a horizontal intercept. Note that all lines with a nonzero slope have a horizontal intercept.

6 6 CHAPTER ONE Hughes Hallett et al c 005, John Wile & Sons. Ever line has both a horizontal intercept and a vertical intercept. (a) True (b) False (b). Either a horizontal line or a vertical line, ecluding the horizontal and vertical aes, provides a countereample. Note that all lines of the form = m + b, where m 0, have both tpes of intercepts.. Ever non-horizontal line must have at most one horizontal intercept. (a) True (b) False (a). Lines of the form = m+b, where m 0, have b as the horizontal intercept, while vertical lines have the m form = a, where a is the horizontal intercept. Ask the students what this means geometricall. 5. The graph in Figure. is a representation of which of the following functions? (a) = (b) = + 6 (c) = + (d) = Figure. (b). The line has slope and -intercept 6. Other methods of reasoning could be used. For eample, the line shown has a negative slope, which eliminates choices (a) and (d). The -intercepts for choices (b) and (c) are 6 and, respectivel. From the graph the -intercept is 6.

7 CHAPTER ONE Hughes Hallett et al c 009, John Wile & Sons 7 6. The graph in Figure. is a representation of which of the following functions? (a) = (b) = +.5 (c) = + (d) = Figure. (c). The line has slope and -intercept. Note that the -intercept on the graph is positive, which eliminates choices (a) and (d). The lines given in choices (b) and (c) have the same slope, so the choice will depend on the -intercept, which appears to be, not Consider the function f() = +. Give an equation of a line that intersects the graph of this function (a) Twice (b) Once (c) Never (a) There are man answers here. An horizontal line of the form = a, where a >. (b) There are man answers here. One eample is =. (c) There are man answers here. An horizontal line of the form = a, where a <. If ou consider this question graphicall, then have our students draw non-horizontal lines that meet the requirements for (a) and (b). This could be a wa to introduce the idea of tangent lines. 8. Consider the function f() = sin. Give an equation of a line that intersects the graph of this function (a) Once (b) Never (c) An infinite number of times (a) There are man answers here. For eample an vertical line will do. (b) An horizontal line of the form = n where n >. (c) An horizontal line of the form = n where n. Follow-up Question. Draw a line that intersects the graph of this function (a) Twice (b) Three times (c) Four times You can also ask if it is possible for a line which intersects the curve at an intercept to intersect the curve an even number of times.

(a) The elevation of a river as a function of distance from its mouth (b) The length of a single strand of hair as a function of time (c) The height of a person from age 0 to age 80 (d) The height of a redwood tree (c). In general, people stop growing when the are oung adults and, before the are 80, the begin to lose height. This question epands a student s idea of a function. You could ask students to suppl some more functions that are increasing. 0. Considering as a function of, which of the following lines represent decreasing functions? (a) + = (b) = (c) = 6 (d) + = 6 (a) and (d). Lines with negative slopes are decreasing functions. (a) has a slope of and (d) has a slope of, and thus are decreasing functions. These equations could also be graphed to show the slopes geometricall.. Which of the graphs does not represent as a function of? (a) (b) a (c) (d) (b). For > a there are two function values corresponding to the same value of. It ma be worth noting that we are assuming that the entire graph is shown that the function does not behave differentl outside the given window.

Which of the following graphs describes Joe s distance from pole A? A B C Figure.7 (a) distance (b) distance (c) distance time (d) distance time time time (d). The graph describes the distance from pole A, so it cannot start at the origin. This eliminates choices (a) and (c). Joe will spend more time walking between poles than running. This eliminates (b). You can also reason using slopes ( slope = speed) as follows: In the first interval he is walking, then he is going three times as fast (running), and finall he is jogging (half the speed of running).

In (a) each term in this table is found b multipling the previous term b. In fact the entries in this table have the form (/6). Answer (b) is incorrect since each term in this table is found b multipling the previous term b /, but eponential functions need ab, where b > 0. Although in (c) the ratio of adjacent terms is constant, the values do not change b a constant amount. Answer (d) is incorrect since the ratio between adjacent terms is not constant. Have our students solve for a and b in h() = ab in choice (c) using the first two values and then check what happens to the last two values.. Let f() = ab f( + h), b > 0. Then = f() (a) b h (b) h (c) b +h b (d) a (a), since f( + h) = ab +h = ab b h = f()b h. This fact, in a different format, is used to find the derivative of b.

23 CHAPTER ONE Hughes Hallett et al c 009, John Wile & Sons For Problems 7, let f and g have values given in the table. f() g() f(g()) = g() = 0, so f(g()) = f(0) =. You can also consider f(g()) for = and =. 8. f(g(0)) = g(0) =, so f(g(0)) = f() =. You can also consider f(g()) for = and =. 9. f(g( )) = g( ) =, so f(g( )) = f() =. You can also consider f(g()) for = and =. 0. If f(g()) =, then = f( ) =, and g() =, so =. You can also consider f(g()) = a for a =,,.. If f(g()) = 0, then = f( ) = 0, and g( ) =, so =.

Estimate the values of the following composite functions to the nearest integer. 8 6 f() g() 6 8 Figure.. g(f(0)) f(0) 0, so g(f(0)) g(0). You ma want to point out that since f(0) = 0, this composition is similar to composing a function with the identit function. 5. g(f(8)) f(8) 8, so g(f(8)) g(8) 5.

When ou are computing g(f(a)) from the graphs of g and f, it is not alwas necessar to compute f(a). For eample, when the horizontal and vertical scales are the same, ou can measure the height of f(a) with a straightedge. This distance placed on the -ais is the new value from which to measure the height of g. The result will be g(f(a)). 7. f(g()) g(), so f(g()) f().

After the composition we have: m + b + n = m + mn + b. Thus mn = n which implies m = or n = 0. This provides an opportunit to point out the difference between subtracting the same quantit from both sides (alwas allowable) and canceling the same term from both sides (sometimes letting ou lose information like n = 0).

(a) ln(0) ln() (b) ln (c) ln + ln ln (d) ln (b). ln(0) ln() = ln(5), ln() = ln(6), ln() + ln() = ln(), and ln() ln() = ln( ) = ln ln ln = = ln(e ). Since e < 9 and ln is an increasing function, ln(6) is the largest number. Point out that using the rules of logarithms enables us to compare eact values. If the comparison were made using a computer or calculator, we would likel be comparing approimate values.

This would be an ecellent time to review the properties of P = f(t) = 6 ln(t) (b). If P = 6 ln(t), then P 6 = ln(t) and ep/6 = t. This gives t = ep/6. You could also use f(t) = 6 + ln(t ).. Solve for if 8 = e. (a) = ln 8 + ln + ln (b) = ln ln8 + ln (c) = ln 8 + ln ln (d) = ln ln8 ln (c). If 8 = e, then 8 = e and ln ( 8 ) =, so = ln 8 + ln ln.
