you can spot the -intercepts of (c) without graphing. (And degree and -ints can always be found without graphing)
Also note: To get best results graphing on your calculator – you must practice setting your window! For most of these
you can use an *-min of −3 and an *-max of 3. However, for the ( min and max …. use trial and error!

2. A sports car purchased new for $74 000 depreciates at an approximate rate of 15% per year. An equation
that can be used to find the amount of time it would take for the value to fall to $40 000 is:
40 000 = 74 000(R)• ; where R is the amount the value of the car would be multiplied each
year to obtain the new value. (That is, R = 1 − rate of decrease)
Substitute a value for R to algebraically determine the number of years it would take for the value of the car
to fall to $40 000, correct to the nearest tenth of a year. Verify graphically using your graphing calculator.

5.1 Practice Questions

1. The graphs of = !( ) and =$ are shown on the right.


(a) On the same grid, sketch the graph of ℎ = !+$ ( ) = !( )
= $( )
(b) Determine a slope-intercept form equation for !( ) and $( ).
*Include any domain restrictions.

(c) Determine a simplified equation for ℎ( ).


*Include any domain restrictions.

(d) Use the graphs to state the range of !( ), $( ), and ℎ( ).

(e) Determine an equation for the following combined functions. (Do not graph – include domain restrictions)
i = (! − $)( ) ii = ($ − !)( ) iii = !⋅$ ( )

(f) Determine the range of ℎ = (! + $)( ) if the domain of !( ) is restricted to [0, ∞).

* When to include a domain restriction when stating a function equation:


Sometimes when we state the equation of a function, we are under no obligation to include a domain restriction, even if there
is one! For example, ) * = * + = has a restricted domain, but we don’t need to include it when writing the equation
because it can be “seen”. (By examining the function and seeing its radical nature, the restriction ≥ −8 is implied)
But consider !( ) from example 5.14. When stating that equation, ! = +4 − 1 ; ≤ 2 we are obligated to
include the domain restriction of ≤ 2, because that restriction is arbitrary, it is not evident in the equation.
−1
This is similar to when we cancel terms. If we express a function ! = , we need not include “ ≠ ±1” after.
−1
−1 1
But if simplify this to ! = ! = … we must include “ ≠ ±1”
( − 1)( + 1) +1
(As there is no indication from the function equation that
= 1 is a non-permissible value, only ≠ −1 can be “seen”)
The bottom line
Always include a domain restriction whenever it cannot be seen in the function equation. Note that as you continue through
your practice - you will not always be reminded of this! So with that, here are few more reminders to tide you over:
Be sure to include any domain restrictions that cannot be “seen” in the function equation!
Be sure to include any domain restrictions that cannot be “seen” in the function equation!
Be sure to include any domain restrictions that cannot be “seen” in the function equation!

−3
for each of the composite functions, and (ii) use an algebraic process to determine the domain.
Hint: For domain it is sometimes helpful to examine the graph of the inside function. (Where is it positive? Equal to zero?) Try this
approach when you encounter an unusual / complex composite function. That said, an algebraic approach is possible for all below!

(a) (! ∘ $)( ) (b) ($ ∘ !)( ) (c) (! ∘ ,)( )


Challenge – fully simplify

(d) (, ∘ !)( ) (e) (, ∘ ℎ)( ) (f) (ℎ ∘ ,)( )


See hint for (h) below!

(g) (ℎ ∘ !)( ) (h) (! ∘ $ ∘ ,)( ) (i) (, ∘ $)( )


Do not simplify
