QUESTION 1
1 9
a) Given 𝑓(𝑥) = ;𝑥 ≠ and 𝑔(𝑥) = √3x − 1. Determine
2x−9 2
i. the domain 𝑔(𝑥).
ii. the inverse of 𝑓(𝑥).
iii. (𝑓 −1 ∘ 𝑔)(2)

𝑥+2
b) Given 𝑓(𝑥) = and 𝑔(𝑥) = 1 + 4𝑥. Determine
𝑥−1
i. the domain 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥).
ii. the inverse of (𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥).
iii. 𝑓 −1 (5)

QUESTION 2

a) If (x+1) is one of the factors of the function h(x)=2𝑥 3 + 9𝑥 2 + 3𝑥 − 4. Then find the remaining
factors of h(x) using long division method.
b) Use long division method to find the quotient and remainder when g(x)=8𝑥 3 − 4𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 + 2
is divided by 𝑥 2 + 𝑥 + 1.

QUESTION 3

a) Show that (x-1) is NOT a factor of f(x)=𝑥 3 − 9𝑥 2 + 26𝑥 − 24. Hence, use synthetic division to
determine the quotient and remainder when f(x) is divided by (x-1).
b) Show that (x+2) is a factor of P(x)=2𝑥 3 + 5𝑥 2 − 𝑥 − 6. Hence, use synthetic division to
factorize the function completely.

ANSWER QUESTION 1

a) i. ii. iii.

𝑥+2
b) i. 𝐷𝑓(𝑥) : 𝑥 ≠ 1 and 𝐷𝑔(𝑥) : 𝑥ϵℜ ii.(𝑓 + 𝑔)(𝑥) = 𝑥−1 + 1 + 4𝑥 iii. 𝑓 −1 (5) = 7/4

ANSWER QUESTION 2

a) remaining factors are

b) Q(x) = 8𝑥 − 12 and R(x) = 2𝑥 + 14

ANSWER QUESTION 3

a) Substitute f(1)≠0, 𝑄(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 8𝑥 + 18, 𝑅(𝑥) = −6

b) P(-2)=0, Q(x)= (x+2) (2x+3) (x-1)
