Task 1
(i) Functional Values
Given functions:
f(x) = 2x +1
g(x) = 3x + 1
Calculating Operations
f
1. Quotient (x):
g
f f (x ) 2 x +1
(x) = =
x g (x) 3 x +1
2. Product (fg)(x):
(fg)(x)=f(x) × g(x) = (2x +1)(3x + 1)
Expanding:
= 6x2 + 2x + 3x + 1 = 6x2 + 5x + 1
3. Composition f o g(x):
f(g(x))= f(3x + 1) =2(3x + 1) + 1 = 6x + 2 +1 =6x + 3
4. Composition g o f(x):
g(f(x)) = g(2x + 1) = 3(2x + 1) + 1= 6x + 3 + 1 = 6x + 4
Summary of Results
f 2 x +1
(x)=
x 3 x +1
(fg)(x) = 6x2 + 5x + 1
f o g(x)= 6x + 3
g o f(x)=6x + 4
(ii) Are fg, f o g, and g o f Equall?
f o g(x) = 6x + 3
g o f(x) = 6x + 4
Conclusion: f o g(x) ≠ g o f(x). composition is not commutative.
(iii) Domain and Range
f
1. Quotient (x):
x
Domain: x cannot make g(x) = 0:
1
3x + 1 ≠ 0 = x ≠ -
3
So, domain:
1
(-∞, - ¿ U ¿,∞).
3
2. Product (fg)(x):
Domain: All real number ( - ∞,∞).
Range: All real numbers (-∞,∞)
3. Composition f o g(x):
Domain: All real number ( - ∞,∞).
Range: All real numbers (-∞,∞)
4. Composition g o f(x):
Domain: All real number ( - ∞,∞).
Range: All real numbers (-∞,∞)
Task 2
(i) Inverse Function
Given:
T(C) =
√ 20 C +15
15 C +16
To Find C as a Function of T:
1. Square both sides:
20 C+15
T2=
15C +16
2. Cross Multiply:
T2(15C + 16) = 20C + 15
3. Expand and rearrange:
15T2C + 16T2= 20C + 15
15T2C – 20C 15 -16T2
C(15T2 -20) = 50 – 16T2
4. Solve for C :
15−16 T 2
C=
15T 2−20
(ii) Practical Limitations
1. Physical constrains: The control setting C must be non-negative; thus, the inverse function may not provide valid
results for all T values.
2. Asymptotes: if T approaches values leading to division by zero in the equation, C becomes undefined.
3. Realistic Ranges: The model may not account for extreme environment conditions, affecting the accuracy of the
inverse function.
Task 3.
(ii) Explanation of Transformations:
1. Vertical Shifts:
f(x) + 6: moves graph up to 6 units.
f(x) – 6: moves graph up to 6 units.
2. Horizontal scaling:
f(50x): Compresses the graph horizontally by a factor of 50 (steeper).
x
f( ¿ : Strtches the graph horizontally by a factor of 50(flatter)
50
(iii) Observations on Domain and Range
1. Domain: Remains(-∞,∞) for all transformations.
2. Range:
f(x) + 6: Range[6,∞)
f(x) – 6: Range (-6,∞).
f(50x): Range(-∞,∞).
x
f( ¿ : Range(-∞,∞).
50
Task 4
(a) Even Function Analysis
10 t 3
An even function satisfies f(-t) =f(t). To check if g(t) = is even:
12t 3+ 53
1. Calculate g(-t):
10 (−t ) 3 −10 t 3
g(-t) = =
12 (−t ) 2+ 53 12t 2+53
since g(-t) ≠ g(t), g(t) is not an even function.
(b) Symmetry Analysis
1. Graphical Behavior:
if g(-t) results in a negative value of the same magnitude as g(t), the graph is odd.
2. Conclusion:
The graph of g(t) does not possess even symmetry and does not show odd symmetry, indicating it is neither even or
odd.
