Section 4.9: Review Exercises

Practice problems to review the concepts of functions, domain and range, linear and nonlinear functions, relations, mapping, and applications.

Review Problems

  1. Identify the domain and range of \( f(x) = x^2 - 5 \).
  2. Write the linear function with slope -2 and y-intercept 4.

  4. Determine if the relation \( \{(1,2),(2,2),(3,2),(1,3)\} \) is a function.
  5. A taxi charges $4 plus $1.5 per mile. Write the function for total cost and find the cost for 8 miles.
  6. Graph the quadratic function \( h(x) = -x^2 + 6x - 5 \) and identify its vertex.
  7. Given the function \( f(x) = 3x + 1 \), find \( f(4) \) and \( f(-2) \).
  8. Determine whether \( k(x) = x^3 - 2x \) is linear or nonlinear.
