Problem Set 1 - Due by Thursday, September 22, 2011 Posted/Revised: Sept.

12, 2011 Problems marked with * are to be handed in during lecture or in SS1071. *1. Create a one-page summary of the following information: The Algebra and Geometry parts of section 1.2 of the course text. If you dene your variables, then no pictures are necessary. (For example: Let r be the radius of a circle) The formulae in section 1.4 and the general equation of a circle, ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola. The denitions of domain of a function, range of a function, the absolute value function, even function, and odd function (section 1.5) Consider the function g (x) = af [b(x c)] + d. Summarize the eects of a, b, c, and d on the original graph of f (x). 1 State the domain and range of the following functions: y = x , y = x, y = x2 , y = x3 , y = 2x , y = sin(x), y = cos(x), y = tan(x). For the trig functions, it can be assumed that x is measured in radians. 2. Give an example of a function that has domain equal to (, 2) (2, 3) (3, ). 3. Give an example of a function that only has one value in its range. 4. Give an example of an odd periodic function and an even periodic function. 5. How many angles are there such that sin() = 0.74? How many angles are there such that sin() = 1.74? Why? Bonus: Rewrite the following passage in fewer sentences and clearer language in a way that preserves the mathematical meaning: If you let x be zero and you substitute this value into f (x), you find out that there is no way to determine the value of f (0). So we cannot substitute zero for x in this function. But we can substitute any other real number for x and get a number f (x). In fact, by substituting different values for x, we can make f (x) equal any real number we want. From this, we can conclude that the graph of f (x) does not have a highest or lowest point; it goes to both infinities.
