1 If f ( x ) = -x2 - x - 6, find f ( -3 ). a. f ( -3 ) = 10 b. f ( -3 ) = 8 c. f ( -3 ) = - 18 d. f ( -3 ) = - 12 2 If a and h are real numbers, find f ( x ) = 7 x - 8 a. b. c. d. 3 If a and h are real numbers, find f ( a ) + f ( h ) if f ( x ) = x2 - x + 2 a. f ( a ) + f ( h ) = a2 + h2 - a - h + 4 b. f ( a ) + f ( h ) = a2 + h2 + a + h c. f ( a ) + f ( h ) = a2 + h2 + a + h + 4 d. f ( a ) + f ( h ) = a2 + h2 - a - h 4 If a is a positive real number, find if a. b. c. 5 Find the domain of f. a. b. c. d. 6 Find the domain of f. a. b. c. d. 7 Find the domain of f. a. b. c. d. 8 Find the range of f. a. b. c. 9 Find the intervals on which f is decreasing. a. b. c. d. 10 Simplify the difference quotient if f ( x ) = x2 + 4 a. b. c. d. 11 From a rectangular piece of cardboard having dimensions a =3 inches b = 7 inches, an open box is to be made by cutting out an identical square of area from each corner and turning up the sides. Express the volume V of the box as a function of x. a. V = x( 3 - x )( 7 - x ) b. V = x( 3 - 2x )( 7 - 2x ) c. V = ( 3 - 2x )( 7 - 2x ) d. V = 2x( 3 - x )( 7 - x ) 12 A hot-air balloon is released at 1:00 PM and rises vertically at a rate of 2 m/sec. An observation point is situated a meters from a point on the ground directly below the balloon (see the figure). If t denotes the time (in seconds) after 1:00 PM, express the distance d between the balloon and the observation point as a function of t. a = 125 a. b. c. d. 13 Determine whether f is even
