HW 10 Lesson 5 Algebraic proper3es of func3ons

1. Find the domain for the func3on algebraically. Write in interval nota3on.
! ! "# &
a) 𝑓(𝑥) = 2√𝑥 + 3 − 4 b) 𝑓(𝑥) = " c) 𝑓(𝑥) =
! "$!"% √!()

2. Find the resulting function from each combination for

!" &
𝑓(𝑥) = !"&and 𝑔(𝑥) = *"!

Given the functions: Evaluate

( f + g ) ( x) = ( f + g ) (4) =

( f - g ) ( x) = ( f - g ) (0) =

( f • g ) ( x) = ( f • g ) (1) =

3. Find the difference quotient of 𝑓, that is find -
, ℎ ≠ 0, for each function. Be sure to simplify.

a. 𝑓(𝑥) = 4𝑥 + 3 b. 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 ) + 2
 &
c. 𝑓(𝑥) = !(* d. 𝑓(𝑥) = √𝑥 − 2 Hint: rationalize the
numerator

4. Find the equation of the secant line.

𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 ) − 2𝑥 𝑓(𝑥) = −4𝑥 + 1 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 ) + 1
