TUTORIAL 3 – Functions and Graphs

Question 1
Find the function values for each function

a. f ( x )=2 x +1; f ( 0 ) , f ( 3 ) , f (−4)

b. h ( v )=

, h(1−x )

ANSWER
a. f ( x )=2 x +1; f ( 0 ) , f ( 3 ) , f (−4)

For f ( 0 ) ;
f ( 0 )=2 ( 0 ) +1=1
For f ( 3 ) ;
f ( 3 )=2 (3 )+ 1=7
For f (−4 ) ;
f (−4 )=2 (−4 )+ 1=−7

b. h ( v )=

Question 2
Find the function values for each function
a. g ( x )=|x−3|; g ( 10 ) , g ( 3 ) , g(−3)
{

if t>1
b. F ( t )= 0 if t=1
−1 if t<1
F ( 12 ) , F (−√ 3 ) , F (1 ) , F ( 185 )
ANSWER
a. g ( x )=|x−3|; g ( 10 ) , g ( 3 ) , g(−3)
For g ( 10 )
g ( 10 )=|10−3|=|7|=7
For g ( 3 )
g ( 3 )=|3−3|=|0|=0
For g(−3)
g (−3 )=|−3−3|=|−6|=6

{
2 if t>1
b. F ( t ) = 0 if t=1
−1 if t<1

F ( 12 ) , F (−√ 3 ) , F (1 ) , F ( 185 )
For F ( 12 )
Since 12>1, then F ( 12 )=2

For F (− √ 3 )

Since −√ 3<1, then F (− √ 3 ) =−1

For F ( 1 )
Since 1=1, then F ( 1 )=0

For F ( 185 )
Since

Question 3
Intercept of a graph
a. Find the x - and y -intercepts of the graph of y=2 x +3 and sketch the graph.
ANSWER
If y=0, then
−3
0=2 x +3 so that x=
2
−3
Thus, the x -intercepts is ( , 0). If the x=0 , then
2
y=2 ( 0 )+3=3
So the y -intercepts is (0,3)

−3 −1 1
x −1 0 1
2 2 2
y 0 1 2 3 4 5

b. Graph the function s=f ( t )=4 +t 2 and give the domain and range. Also, find the
intercepts.
ANSWER
If s=0, then 0=4 +t 2
0=(2+t )(2+ t) so that t=± 2
If t=0 , then s=4
So the intercepts are (2,0), (−2,0), (0,4)
Domain: all numbers; Range: all real number ≤ 4
Question 4
−1 2
Use the graph of f ( x )=x 2 to sketch the graph of y= x +2
