Answer to Question 1:

(a)
2
𝑥 −16
The f(x) function is = 2 ,
𝑥 −25
Here,
the denominator of f(x) function is-
2
𝑥 −25=0,
⇒ x=±5
So, the domain is all real numbers except x=±5.

So the domain of f(x),

(b)
Here,
2
𝑥 −16
f(x)= 2 ,
𝑥 −25
Taking the denominator,
2
𝑥 −25=0,
2
⇒ 𝑥 = 25,
⇒ x = ±5.
So, The Vertical asymptotes are at x = ±5.

(c)
Vertical asymptotes occur at values of x that make the denominator zero while the numerator
is non-zero, causing the function to approach infinity.

At x = ±5, the function's denominator becomes 0, but the numerator does not. So, the
function grows without bound near those values.

(Ans.)

Answer to Question 2:

(a)
Here,
2
f(x) = 9 − 𝑥
So,
2
9−𝑥 ≥ 0
2
⇒ −𝑥 ≥ -9
2
⇒𝑥 ≤9
⇒ x ≤ ±3 or −3 ≤ x ≤ 3
So,​
Domain: [−3,3] and ​
Range: [0,3].
(b)
Let's take x=+2 and -2 for the horizontal line test,
For,

f(2) = 9 − 4​

= 5

and,​

f(−2) = 9 −4

=5

So, multiple x-values give the same output, and it fails the horizontal line test.

So,’

f(x) does not have an inverse on its full domain because it is not one-to-one.

(Ans.)

Answer to Question 3:

(a)

Here,
2
𝑥 −25
lim 𝑥−5
𝑥→5

(𝑥−5) (𝑥+5)
= 𝑥−5
= x+5.
So,
lim (x+5)
𝑥→5
= (5+5)
= 10 (Ans.)

(b)
Here,
2
2𝑥 − 7𝑥
lim 2
𝑥→∞ 5𝑥 − 3
2 7
𝑥 (2+ 𝑥 )
= 2 3
𝑥 (5− 2 )
𝑥
2+0 2
= 5−0
= 5
(Ans.)
Answer to Question 4:

(a)
Here,

f(x)=ln⁡(3−x)

3−x > 0

⇒x < 3

So,

Domain: (−∞,3).

(b)

Here,

Logarithmic functions are continuous on their domain.

So,

f(x) is continuous on (−∞,3).

(Ans.)

Answer to Question 5:

(a)

Here,
2
𝑥 − 2𝑥
f(x) = 𝑒 and,
g(x) = ln(𝑥 + 3)
if,
f(g(x)) = x and,
g(f(x)) = x.

For,
2
(𝑔(𝑥)) −2𝑔(𝑥)
f(g(x)) = 𝑒
2
𝑙𝑛(𝑥+3) −2𝑙𝑛(𝑥+3)
=𝑒
And for,
g(f(x)) = ln(f(x)+3)
 2
𝑥 − 2𝑥
= ln(𝑒 +3)
Since neither equation is equal to x,
So,
g(x) is not the inverse of f(x).​
(Ans.)

(b)

Two functions are inverses if their graphs are mirror images across the line y=x
2
𝑥 − 2𝑥
Since the graphs of f(x) = 𝑒 and g(x) = ln⁡(x+3) are not reflections of each other, and f(x)
is not one-to-one,
So, they are not inverses.
(Ans.)

Answer to Question 6:

(a) Here,
2
s(t) = 5𝑡 − 30𝑡 + 10
For t=2 and t=5.
2
s(2) = 5×2 - 30×2+10
= 20-60+10
= -30
And,
2
s(5) = 5×5 - 30×5+10
= 125-150+10
= -15
We know,
−15−(−30)
Average rate = 5−2
−15+30
= 3
15
= 3
=5
So, the average rate of change is 5 m/s.

(b) Here,
2
s(t) = 5𝑡 − 30𝑡 + 10
For t=3,
2
s(3) = 5×3 - 30×2+10
= 45-90+10
= -35

We know,
2
5𝑡 −30𝑡+10+35
Instantaneous velocity = lim 𝑡−3
𝑡→3
 2
5𝑡 −30𝑡+45
= lim 𝑡−3
𝑡→3

2
5𝑡 −15𝑡−15𝑡+45
= lim 𝑡−3
𝑡→3

5𝑡(𝑡−3)−15(𝑡−3)
= lim 𝑡−3
𝑡→3

(𝑡−3)(5𝑡−15)
= lim 𝑡−3
𝑡→3

= lim (5t-15)
𝑡→3

= (5×3)-15

=15-15

= 0.

So, the instantaneous velocity at t=3 is 0 m/s.

(c)

Average rate of change (5 m/s) from t=2 to t=5.

That means the car moved forward on average at 5 meters per second over this 3-second
interval.

And Instantaneous velocity (0 m/s) at t=3.

At exactly 3 seconds, the car's velocity was zero, meaning it momentarily stopped before
potentially reversing direction or changing speed.

Answer to Question 7:

(a) Here,

3 2
f(x)= 𝑥 +𝑥 -4x,
here,
3 2 3 2
f(x+h)-f(x)= (𝑥 + ℎ) + (𝑥 + ℎ) -4(x+h)-𝑥 -𝑥 +4x
3 3 2 2 2 2 3 2
= 𝑥 +ℎ +3𝑥 h+3xℎ +𝑥 +2xh+ℎ -4x-4h-𝑥 -𝑥 +4x
3 2 2 2
= ℎ +3𝑥 h+3xℎ +2xh+ℎ -4h

We know,
 𝑓(𝑥+ℎ)−𝑓(𝑥)
f ‘ (𝑥)= lim ℎ
ℎ→0
3 2 2 2
ℎ +3𝑥 ℎ+3𝑥ℎ +2𝑥ℎ+ℎ −4ℎ
= lim ℎ
ℎ→0
2 2
ℎ(ℎ +3𝑥 +3𝑥ℎ+2𝑥+ℎ−4)
= lim ℎ
ℎ→0
2 2
= (0) +3𝑥 +(3x × 0)+2x+0-4
2
= 3𝑥 +2x-4
So,
2
f ‘(2)= 3𝑥 +2x-4
2
=3×(2) +2×2-4
= 12+4-4
= 12.
=m(slope).
And,
3 2
f(2)=(2) +2 -4×2
= 8+4-4
= 8.

So, the tangent line equation at x=2,

(b)

We need to explain whether the tangent line lies above or below the curve at x=1. First, let's
find the value of f(1):
3 2
f(1)=1 +1 −4(1)
=1+1−4
=−2.
So, the point on the curve at x=1 is (1, −2).
Now, let's find the slope of the tangent line at x=1,
2
f′(1)=3×1 +2(1)−4
=3+2−4
=1.
The equation of the tangent line at x=1,
⇒ y−(−2) = 1(x−1)
⇒ y+2 = x−1
⇒ y = x−3.

the second derivative of f(x),

We know,
𝑓 ′ (𝑥+ℎ)−𝑓 ′ (𝑥)
f ′′ (x) = lim ℎ
ℎ→0
2
6𝑥ℎ+3ℎ +2ℎ
= lim ℎ
ℎ→0
ℎ(6𝑥+3ℎ+2)
= lim ℎ
ℎ→0
= 6x+3×0+2
= 6x+2.
Here,
f ′′(1)=6×(1)+2
=8.
The tangent line lies below the curve at x=1 because f ′′(1) = 8>0. (Ans.)
which means the function is concave up at x = 1, and we know that when a function is
concave up, its tangent lines lie below the curve.
