Exam questions on 2.7 Composite and inverse functions

  1. f(x)=2x+3f(x)=2x+3 and g(x)=x2g(x)=x^2, for x∈Rx\in\mathbb{R}.
    Solve (f∘g)(x)=11(f\circ g)(x)=11.2 marks
  2. The fare in EUR for a taxi journey of dd km is f(d)=3+1.2df(d)=3+1.2d, for d≥0d\geq0. Fares are converted to AED using g(x)=4xg(x)=4x.
    A passenger is charged 96 AED. Find the distance of the journey.2 marks
  3. f(x)=(x−3)2−2f(x)=(x-3)^2-2, defined for x∈Rx\in\mathbb{R}.
    (i) Explain why ff has no inverse function on the given domain. (ii) State the largest domain of the form x≥kx\geq k on which ff has an inverse, and the range of ff on this domain.3 marks
