I. Answer the following using operations and composition of functions. Show your complete solution.
a. f(x) + g(x) (3) e. f(x) o g(x) (1)
b. f(x) - g(x) (4) f. f(x) o g(x) (2)
c. ( f(x) )(g(x)) (-1) g. f(x) o g(x) (3)
d. f(x) ÷ g(x) (0) h. f(x) o g(x) (4)

1. f(x) = 3x -5
g(x) = 4x – 10

II. Solve the following rational equations. Note that your solutions will be graded based on the
correctness of the ff: LCD (1 point), the steps prior to the final answer (1 point), solutions/roots (2
points), and checking (1 point).

3 2 −2 5−x 1
1. y+ 5 - y−3 = 2
y + 2 y −15
2. 4 = x

III. Solve for the following rational inequalities. Construct a table of signs using the critical values of the
rational inequalities. Draw also the number line of the critical values.

x −3 x −10
1. x−8
≥ 0

IV. A. Find the inverse of the following sets of ordered pairs. Then, determine whether the inverse
is a function or a mere relation.
1. {(−1, −1), (0, −1), (1,1), (1,0), (0,0)}

2. {(3,5), (2,4), (−3, −4), (−4, −2), (−5,2)}

3. {(−5,5), (−1,0), (2,4), (−3,2), (−4, −5)}

4. {(−2,4), (−1,2), (1,2), (2,4)}

5. {(5,1), (4,2), (3,3), (2,5)}

VI. Problem Solving.

1. The denominators of two fractions are consecutive even integers, and their numerator is 1. If the
11
sum of the fractions is , what are the two fractions?
