Question 7
a) f(x) = x
Solution:
x 0 2 -2 4 -4
f(x) 0 2 -2 4 -4
b) g(x) = x2
Solution:
x 0 -1 1 -2 2
g(x) 0 1 1 4 -4

Question 8
a) y = sinx
Solution
y 0 1 0 -1 0 -1 0 1 0
e) y = 1/x
Solution
x 1 2 3 1/2 -1 -2 -3 -1/2
4
h) y = tan-1x
Solution
y -∞ -1 0 1 ∞
Now, in inverse trigonometric function, the domain and range are interchanged. Meaning that x-
x -∞ -1 0 1 ∞
Question 13
Solution
The inverse sine function f(x)=sin-1x is defined as the function in which sin-1x function returns
Domain: The domain of sin-1x function is the closed interval [-1, 1], which means that it is
defined for values of x that lie between -1 and 1, including both -1 and 1.
Range: The range of the inverse sine function is the closed interval [-π/2, π/2], which means that
the values of f(x) will always fall between -π/2 and π/2 or -90° and 90° .
Exercise
Question 3
Solution
We have, f(x) = x2 - 2x + 3
= (2ah + h2 – 2h)/h
= h(h + 2a -2)/h
= 2a + h - 2
Question 12
Solution
The graph of y = x2 is a parabola that opens upward and has its vertex at the origin (0, 0).
a) Horizontal Shift: 3 units right (positive) on x-axis as there’s 3 units subtraction inside the
parenthesis.
c) Vertical Shift: There's no addition or subtraction outside the parentheses, so there is no vertical
shift.
The graph of f(x) = (x – 3)2 is a parabola that opens upward and has its vertex at (3, 0).
Question 15
Solution
The graph of g(x) is the standard graph of y = cosx changed with transformations.
8
The graph of y = cosx is a cosine function that oscillates between -1 and 1, with its maximum at
multiplying cos2x.
b) Frequency: The frequency of the cosine function is doubled because of the angle x is
multiplied by 2. This means that the period of the function is halved, so it repeats every pi
c) Vertical Shift: There's a vertical shift of 1 unit upward because of the +1 outside the cosine
function.
Question 21 a
Solution
We have, f(x) = ln x
and g(x) = x2 – 9
= g(ln x)
= (ln x)2 – 9
= gof(x) > 0
= ln x > =3 or ln x>= -3
