- In Exercises 27–28, let f and g be defined by the following table: f(x) g(x) -2 -1 3 4 -1 1 1 -4 -3 -6 27. Find Vf(-1) – f(0) – [g(2)]² + f(-2) ÷ g(2) ·g(-1). 28. Find |f(1) – f0)| – [g(1)] + g(1) ÷ f(-1)· g(2).arrow_forwardIn Exercises 17–20, the linear function. use the limit definition to calculate the derivative ofarrow_forwardIn Exercises 25–30, give a formula for the extended function that iscontinuous at the indicated point.arrow_forward
- In Exercises 83–86, determine whether thestatement is true or false. If it is false, explain why or give anexample that shows it is false. If the graph of a function has three x-intercepts, then it musthave at least two points at which its tangent line is horizontalarrow_forwardIn Exercises 181–184, determine whetherthe statement is true or false. If it is false, explain why or givean example that shows it is false. The slope of the function f (x) = cos bx at the origin is −b.arrow_forwardExercises 103–110: Let the domain of f(x) be [-1,2] and the range be [0, 3 ]. Find the domain and range of the following. 103. f(x – 2) 104. 5/(x + 1) 105. -/(x) 106. f(x – 3) + 1 107. f(2x) 108. 2f(x – 1) 109. f(-x) 110. -2/(-x)arrow_forward
- In Exercises 83–85, you will use a CAS to help find the absolute extrema of the given function over the specified closed interval. Per-form the following steps. a. Plot the function over the interval to see its general behavior there. b. Find the interior points where ƒ′ = 0. (In some exercises, you may have to use the numerical equation solver to ap-proximate a solution.) You may want to plot ƒ′ as well. c. Find the interior points where ƒ′ does not exist. d. Evaluate the function at all points found in parts (b) and (c) and at the endpoints of the interval. e. Find the function’s absolute extreme values on the interval and identify where they occur. 83. ƒ(x) = x4 - 8x2 + 4x + 2, [-20/25, 64/25] 84. ƒ(x) = -x4 + 4x3 - 4x + 1, [-3/4, 3] 85. ƒ(x) = x^(2/3)(3 - x), [-2, 2]arrow_forwardFor Exercises 103–104, given y = f(x), remainder a. Divide the numerator by the denominator to write f(x) in the form f(x) = quotient + divisor b. Use transformations of y 1 to graph the function. 2x + 7 5х + 11 103. f(x) 104. f(x) x + 3 x + 2arrow_forwardWrite out all functions f:{1,2}→{a,b,c} (in two-line notation).arrow_forward
- In Exercises15–36, find the points of inflection and discuss theconcavity of the graph of the function. f(x)=\frac{6-x}{\sqrt{x}}arrow_forwardExercises 3 and 4: Write f(x) in the general form f(x) = ax? + bx + c, and identify the leading coefficient. 3. f(x) = -2(x – 5)² + 1 4. f(x) = }(x + 1) - 2arrow_forwardA function of the form y ax + bx + c, a + 0, is called a/an function.arrow_forward
