(1) Find the x− and y−intercepts of the line passing through the points (−3, 5) and (7, −10). For full
credit, all intercepts must be given as ordered pairs.
(2) If f(x) = 2x
2 − x + 6, find f(x+h)−f(x)
h
in simplest form. (Your answer will involve both x and h.)
(3) (3 points each) Given the parent function f(x) = 1
x
, write down the function whose graph satisfies the
given description in each case:
(a) The graph of f shifted 0.8 units up and 3 units to the right.
(b) The graph of f shifted 2 units to the left and then reflected through the x−axis.
(4) (a) (4 points) If f(x) = √
x and g(x) = x
2 −x+ 1, find both (f ◦ g)(x) and (g ◦ f)(x) in simplest form.
(b) (2 points) If h(x) = ln(2x − 3), find f and g such that h(x) = (f ◦ g)(x) and neither f(x) nor g(x)
is equal to x.
