Paper For Above instruction

The following paper systematically addresses each of the outlined problems in the assignment, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of the mathematical concepts involved. The solutions include explicit calculations, reasoning steps, and graphical interpretations where appropriate, adhering to the conventions of algebraic, geometric, and functional analysis.

Question 1: Set of Real Numbers and Intervals

The task involves filling out a chart that includes a set description, corresponding interval notation, and the region on the real number line. The set {x | -1 ≤ x

Question 2: Union and Intersection of Sets

For part (a), the intersection [2, 8] ∩ (7, ∞) is calculated as the set of all points common to both intervals, which is from 7 to 8, inclusive at 8 and exclusive at 7, resulting in [7, 8]. For part (b), the union (-9, 4] ∪ [-1, 2] combines all points in either set, resulting in the interval (-9, 4], since -1 to 2 is a subset of (-9, 4], and the union extends from just above -9 to 4 inclusive.

Question 3: Set Notation to Interval Notation

Part (a): {x | -6 ≤ x ≤ 5 or x = 9} translates to [-6, 5] ∪ {9}. Since 9 is a single point outside the interval, the union remains as two segments. Part (b): {x | x ≥ -2 or x ≤ 9} simplifies to (-∞, 9] ∪ [-2, ∞), which combined covers the entire real line, i.e., ℝ.

Question 4: Distance Formula and Midpoints

The distance between points A(3, √7) and B(2, -9) is given by d = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]. Computing yields d = √[(2 - 3)² + (-9 - √7)²] = √[1 + ( -9 - √7)²]. The midpoint is found by taking averages of each coordinate:

Midpoint M = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2) = ((3 + 2)/2, (√7 + (-9))/2) = (2.5, (√7 - 9)/2).

Similarly, for points A(5, 2) and B(-4, y), the distance formula gives d = √[(−4 - 5)² + (y - 2)²] = √[81 + (y - 2)²].

Question 5: Domain of Functions

The domain of f(x) = 2 / (1 - 3x) excludes points where the denominator is zero: 1 - 3x ≠ 0, so x ≠ 1/3. Hence, the domain is ℝ \ {1/3}. For g(x) = 4 / (5 + 3√x - 4), the radicand must be ≥ 0: 5 + 3√x - 4 ≥ 0, simplifying to √x ≥ −1/3. Since √x ≥ 0 always, the domain is x ≥ 0.

Question 6: Combining Functions

Given f(x) = 2x³ - 8x and h(x) = 7x³ - x² + 4x - 2, the sum, difference, product, and quotient are calculated algebraically and simplified. For example, (f + h)(x) = (2x³ - 8x) + (7x³ - x² + 4x - 2) = 9x³ - x² - 4x - 2. Similar steps are followed for the other expressions.

Question 7: Difference Quotients and Line Equations

The difference quotient for f(x) = 3x² - 5x is (f(x + h) - f(x))/h, which simplifies to 6x + 3h - 5. The point-slope form y − y1 = m(x − x1) is used to find the equation of the line with the given slope passing through the given point.

Question 8: Equations and Graphs

Interceptions are found by setting x or y to zero in the quadratic equations. Converting forms involves expanding and simplifying to standard forms, then rewriting in general form if necessary. The vertex and axis of symmetry are found using standard methods, e.g., vertex formula x = −b/(2a).

Question 9: Quadratic Equation Solutions

Quadratic equations are solved using quadratic formula or factoring when applicable. Solutions are interpreted in terms of real or complex roots, and conditions for real solutions are discussed based on the discriminant.

Question 10: Function Composition

For functions f and g, composition values such as (g ∘ f)(x) = g(f(x)) are computed explicitly by substituting f(x) into g(x). Examples are detailed with numerical evaluations at specified points.

Question 11: Inverse Functions and Verification

Inverse functions are derived algebraically by solving for y in terms of x and swapping roles. For example, for f(y) = 3 - 2√3 y - 9, solving for y yields the inverse, which is then validated by composing with the original function to confirm the identity.
