Mathematical Modeling with Functions Quiz

#1

Which of the following represents a linear function?

y = 3x + 4
Explanation

Linear functions have a constant rate of change, and this equation is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

#2

If h(x) = 3x^2 + 2x - 5, what is the vertex of the quadratic function?

(-2/3, -5/3)
Explanation

The vertex of a quadratic function in the form ax^2 + bx + c is given by (-b/2a, f(-b/2a)). In this case, the vertex is (-2/3, -5/3).

#3

What is the range of the function h(x) = 1/x?

(-∞, 0) ∪ (0, ∞)
Explanation

The range of the reciprocal function 1/x is all real numbers except 0, represented as (-∞, 0) ∪ (0, ∞).

#4

If f(x) = 4x + 7 and g(x) = 2x - 3, what is the composite function (f ⚬ g)(x)?

8x - 1
Explanation

The composite function (f ⨬ g)(x) is obtained by substituting g(x) into f(x), resulting in 8x - 1.

#5

If m(x) = |2x - 1|, what is the domain of the absolute value function?

(-∞, ∞)
Explanation

The absolute value function is defined for all real numbers, so its domain is (-∞, ∞).

#6

What is the inverse function of f(x) = 2x + 5?

f^(-1)(x) = (x - 5) / 2
Explanation

To find the inverse function, swap x and y and solve for y. The given expression represents the inverse of the original function.

#7

What is the domain of the function g(x) = sqrt(4 - x^2)?

(-2, 2)
Explanation

The square root function is defined only for non-negative values under the radical. Solving 4 - x^2 ≥ 0 gives the domain of (-2, 2).

#8

Which of the following is the correct definition of a piecewise function?

A function defined by multiple expressions, each applying to a specific interval or set of inputs
Explanation

A piecewise function is defined by different expressions over distinct intervals or sets of inputs.

#9

If f(x) = log₂(x), what is the domain of the function?

(0, ∞)
Explanation

The logarithm of a positive number is defined, so the domain of this logarithmic function is (0, ∞).

#10

If p(x) = x^3 - 4x^2 + 5x - 2, what are the roots of the cubic equation?

-1, 2, 1
Explanation

The roots are the values of x that make the polynomial equal to zero. In this case, the roots are -1, 2, and 1.

#11

What is the integral of the function f(x) = 3x^2 with respect to x?

x^3 + C
Explanation

Integrate each term of the polynomial to get x^3 + C, where C is the constant of integration.

#12

Which function is an odd function?

y = sin(x)
Explanation

An odd function satisfies f(-x) = -f(x). The sine function has this property, making it an odd function.

#13

What is the limit of f(x) = (x^2 - 1) / (x - 1) as x approaches 1?

2
Explanation

Simplify the expression to (x + 1) and then substitute x = 1 to find that the limit is 2.

#14

What is the Maclaurin series expansion of sin(x)?

x - x^3/6
Explanation

The Maclaurin series expansion of sin(x) is x - x^3/6, where each term is derived from the function's derivatives at x = 0.

#15

If g(x) = e^(2x), what is the derivative of g(x) with respect to x?

2e^(2x)
Explanation

Apply the chain rule to find the derivative of e^(2x), resulting in 2e^(2x).

#16

If q(x) = 2^x, what is the logarithmic form of q(8) = 256?

log₂(256) = 8
Explanation

The logarithmic form expresses the exponent as the logarithm base 2 of the result. In this case, log₂(256) = 8.

#17

What is the limit of g(x) = (e^x - 1) / x as x approaches 0?

e
Explanation

Use L'Hôpital's Rule or simplify the expression to recognize that the limit is e.
