Exam questions on Functions: domain, range and composition

  1. A function ff is defined by f(x)=x2−4x+7f(x)=x^2-4x+7, x∈Rx\in\mathbb{R}.
    The domain of ff is now restricted to x⩾4x\geqslant4. Find the range of ff on this domain.2 marks
  2. The functions ff and gg are defined by f(x)=2x+3f(x)=2x+3, x∈Rx\in\mathbb{R}, and g(x)=x2−1g(x)=x^2-1, x∈Rx\in\mathbb{R}.
    Solve fg(x)=19\mathrm{fg}(x)=19.2 marks
  3. The functions ff and gg are defined by f(x)=x−2+1f(x)=\sqrt{x-2}+1, x⩾2x\geqslant2, and g(x)=4x−1g(x)=\dfrac{4}{x-1}, x∈Rx\in\mathbb{R}, x≠1x\neq1.
    State the range of ff and find an expression for gf(x)\mathrm{gf}(x), stating its domain.3 marks
