For any input x that is a positive integer, the outputs are it’s factors. x All the (x, y)’s on the curve x y 2 4 2 3 4 3 x y 2 4 3 4 4 4

The Basic Language of Functions Exercise B. Given the functions f, g and h, find the outcomes of the following expressions. If it’s not defined, state so. y = h(x) f(x) = –3x + 7 7. f(–1) 8.g(–1) 9.h(–1) 10. –f(3) 11. –g(3) 12. –h(3) 13. 3g(6) 14.2f(2) 15. h(3) + h(0) 16. 2f(4) + 3g(2) 17. –f(4) + f(–4) 18. h(6)*[f(2)] 2 x y = g(x) – 1 4 2 3 5 – 3 6 4 7 2

The Basic Language of Functions 19. f(x) = 1 2x – 6 20. f (x) =  2x – 6 Exercise C. Find the domain of the following functions. 23. f(x) = 1 (x – 2)(x + 6) 24. f (x) =  (x – 2)(x + 6) 21. f(x) = 1 3 – 2x 22. f (x) =  3 – 2x 25. f(x) = 1 x 2 – 1 26. f (x) =  1 – x 2

The Basic Language of Functions 27. –f(3) 28. –g(3) 29. –h(3) 30. 3g(2) 31.2f(2) 32. h(3) + h(0) 33. 2f(4) + 3g(2) 34. f(–3/2) 35. g(1/2) 39. f(3a) 40. g(3a) 41. 3g(a) 42. g(a – b) 43. 2f(a – b) 44. f( ) a 1 45. f(a) 1 37. h(–3/2) 38. g(–1/2) 36. 1/g(2) Exercise D. Given the functions f, g and h, find the outcomes of the following expressions. If it’s not defined, state so. f(x) = –2x + 3 g(x) = –x 2 + 3x – 2 h(x) = x + 2 x – 3
