1. Find the distance between points P and Q. P(9,3) , Q(4,6)

Solution

d= √ ( x 2−x 1 ) + ( y 2− y 1 )
2 2

d= √ ( 4−9 ) + ( 6−3 )
2 2

d= √ 25+ 9
d= √34

a) d = √117 b) d = √34 c) d = 2√10 d) d = 17

2. Find the Midpoint of line segment PQ. P(4, –3) , Q(–2, 4)

Solution

−3+4
=(1,1/2)

a) M = (1, ½) b) M = (½, 1) c) M = (3, ½ ) d) M = (½, 3)

3. Decide whether the graph defines a function or not. Give the domain in interval notation.

a) NOT a function; Domain: (– ∞, ∞) Range: (– ∞, ∞)


b) NOT a function; Domain: (– ∞, 15] Range: (– ∞, ∞)
c) YES, it is a funtion; Domain: (– ∞, ∞) Range: (– ∞, ∞)
d) YES, it is a funtion; Domain: (– ∞, 15] Range: (– ∞, ∞)

4. Let f(x) = 2x – 5. Find f(x + 4).

Solution

f(x) = 2x – 5

f(x+4) = 2(x+4) – 5

a) f(x + 4) = 3 b) f(x + 4) = 2x – 1 c) f(x + 4) = 2x + 13 d) f(x +4) = 2x + 3

5. Let g(x) = x2 – 3x + 5. Find g(–4).

Solution

g(x) = x2 – 3x + 5

g(-4) = -42 – 3(-4) + 5=16+12+5=33

a) g(–4) = 1 b) g(–4) = 33 c) g(–4)= –23 d) g(–4) = 9
