Sample exercises questions to practice
1. Find the degrees for x4 + 2x3 3x2 3 and x2 + 3x + 2. Then express the improper rational
4 3 3x2 3
function x +x2x
2 +3x +2 into a sum of a polynomial and a proper rational function.
2. Find the domain of f ( x ) and find a formula for f 1 ( y ).
p
(a) f ( x ) = 5x + 2.
(b) f ( x ) = 5( x + 1)3 + 1.
p
(c) f ( x ) = x 1.
x 2
(d) f ( x ) = x +7
3. Find the inverse of the following functions, if exists. In this case, write down also the domain
of the inverse function. If there is no inverse, explain briefly.
(a) f ( x ) = x2 2x + 7 with Dom( f ) = ( •, 1];
(b) f ( x ) = x2 2x + 7 with Dom( f ) = (0.5, 5].
4. Rewrite cos 3x in terms of cos x. Furthermore, use this expression to get the value of cos 3a
if cos a = 35 .
p
5. Compute cos 12 by trigonometric identities.
6. Determine whether each function is even, or odd, or neither:
x 2 +1
(a) f ( x ) = x3 x
;
(b) f ( x ) = 1 sin x;
(c) f ( x ) = (sin x )3 + x7 .
