(d) Find all x ∈ R with f (x) = 1. (If there are no solutions, then say
so with justification).

3. Consider the function f : D → R given by f (x) = 5x−2 .
4. Sketch the graph of each of the functions given below. Each function
maps from some subset D of R into R.
5. For each of the functions given below, write down the domain, D, of
f and determine, with justification, whether f : D → R is 1-1. To
show that a function is not one–one you need only find ONE coun-
terexample; i.e. find specific numbers a and b such that f (a) = f (b).
To show that a function is one–one you should demonstrate either that
f (a) = f (b) implies a = b or sketch the curve and use the horizontal
line test.
(a) f (x) = 6x − 2.
(b) f (x) = 3x + 103.

6. For each of the functions below sketch the curve y = f (x) and hence
determine the range of f .

10. For each of the functions given below, determine two pairs of functions
g1 , h1 and g2 , h2 such that f (x) = g1 (h1 (x)) = g2 (h2 (x)). You may
not use the identity function!
