4.3. CHAPTER 4 REVIEW PROBLEMS

  1. Which of the following relations are also functions?

    1. y = 5x3 − 2x2 Is a function

    2. x2 + y2 = 25 Not a function

    3. Not a function

  2. Write y as a function of x if y is equal to half the cube of x, diminished by twice x. y = x3/2 − 2x

  3. Write an equation to express the surface area S of a sphere as a function of its radius r. S = 4πr2

  4. Find the domain and range for each function.

  5. Label each function as implicit or explicit. If it is explicit, name the dependent and independent variables.

    1. w = 3y − 7 Explicit; y independent, w dependent

    2. x − 2y = 8 Implicit

  6. Given y = 3x − 5, write x = f(y). x = (y + 5)/3

  7. Given x2 + y2 + 2w = 3, write w = f(x, y). w = (3 − x2y2)/2

  8. Write the inverse of the function y = 9x − 5. y = (x + 5)/9

  9. If y = 3x2 + 2z and z = 2x2, write y = f(x). 7x2

  10. If f(x) = 5x2 − 7x + 2, find f(3). 26

  11. If f(x) = 9 − 3x, find 2f(3) + 3f(1) − 4f(2). 6

  12. If f = 7x + 5 and g(x) = x2, find 3f(2) − 5g(3). 12

  13. If f(x, y, z) = x2 + 3xy + z3, find f(3, 2, 1). 28

  14. f(x) = 8x + 3 and g(u) = u2 − 4, write f[g(u)]. 8u2 − 29

  15. If f(x) = 5x, g(x) = 1, and h(x) = x3, find

  16. Is the relation x2 + 3xy + y2
