4)

For #1 – 6, #10 circle the correct answer choice. Show work where necessary to receive full credit.

1. Find the distance between points P and Q. P(9,3) , Q(4,6)

Solution

d= √ ( x 2−x 1 ) + ( y 2− y 1 )
2 2

d= √ ( 4−9 ) + ( 6−3 )
2 2

d= √ 25+ 9
d= √34

a) d = √117 b) d = √34 c) d = 2√10 d) d = 17

2. Find the Midpoint of line segment PQ. P(4, –3) , Q(–2, 4)

Solution

Midpoint = ( x 1+2 x 2 , y 1+2 y 2 )=( 4+−2


2
,
2 )
−3+4
=(1,1/2)

a) M = (1, ½) b) M = (½, 1) c) M = (3, ½ ) d) M = (½, 3)

3. Decide whether the graph defines a function or not. Give the domain in interval notation.

a) NOT a function; Domain: (– ∞, ∞) Range: (– ∞, ∞)


b) NOT a function; Domain: (– ∞, 15] Range: (– ∞, ∞)
c) YES, it is a funtion; Domain: (– ∞, ∞) Range: (– ∞, ∞)
d) YES, it is a funtion; Domain: (– ∞, 15] Range: (– ∞, ∞)

4. Let f(x) = 2x – 5. Find f(x + 4).

Solution

f(x) = 2x – 5

f(x+4) = 2(x+4) – 5
f(x+4) = 2x+8 – 5=2x+3

a) f(x + 4) = 3 b) f(x + 4) = 2x – 1 c) f(x + 4) = 2x + 13 d) f(x +4) = 2x + 3

5. Let g(x) = x2 – 3x + 5. Find g(–4).

Solution

g(x) = x2 – 3x + 5

g(-4) = -42 – 3(-4) + 5=16+12+5=33

a) g(–4) = 1 b) g(–4) = 33 c) g(–4)= –23 d) g(–4) = 9

6. Determine the largest open intervals of the domain over which each function is increasing and
decreasing. Circle the correct answer choice.

a) Increasing: (2, 3) Decreasing: (1, 2); (3, 5) b) Increasing: [2, 3] Decreasing: [1, 2]; [3, 5]
c) Increasing: (2, 3) Decreasing: ( –∞ , 2); (3, 5) d) Increasing: [2, 3] Decreasing: (–∞ , 2]; [3, 5]

For #7-9, Graph each equation using the method of your choice.

7. Graph y = 3x – 5 8. Graph 2x – 3y = 12
Solution
9. Graph the line passing through (–2, –4) with a slope of ⅓.

Solution
10. Find the slope of the line passing through the points (5, –3) and (7, –7).

Solution

y 2− y 1 −7−−3 −4
m= = = =−2
x 2−x 1 7−5 2

a) m = –2 b) m = 2 c) m = ½ d) m = – ½
