In 4 - 5, use the graphing calculator or completing the square method

to find the vertex and sketch the graph.  (Outline calculator steps!)   

4.   y = 2x2 + 8 x - 5                                             5.   x = -y2 + 8y - 5             

                                                                                            

 

6. Find the center and radius by completing the square.  Sketch.

            x 2 + y 2 + 4x – 10y - 7 = 0

 9.  Find the domain (give interval notation when appropriate).  Use graphing calculator for c).

    a)            b)             c)             d)

 

 

 

10.  Given the equation   xy = 4y +  4                 11.  Given the graph:

                                                                                                                 

     a) Domain:                                                           a) Domain:

 

     b) Range:                                                             b) Range:

 

     c) Function?                                                         c) Function?

 

12.  Let f(x) = 2 x + 3   and   g(x) = x 2 - 4 x - 6

       a)  (f + g)( 2 ) =                b)   (f - g)( 2 ) =                

              

      c)   (f·g)( 2 ) =                   d)   (f/g)(2) =     

                      

      e)   (f ◦ g )( 2 ) =                 f)   (g ◦ f )( 2 ) =        

  

 

13.  Given , find f – 1 (x).
