PRE-CAL MATH TEST SOLUTIONS

A/

1)Test the following to see if they are functions. If they are

i) state one-to-one or many-to-one ii) state the domain.

If they're not, say why.

a) x = y 2

not a function

since

b) y = x2 - 3x - 28

a function, many-to-one

domain is R

c) y =

a 1-1 function

domain R but x ! 10

d) f(x) =

not a function

same reason as a)

e)

y = x is a 1 to 1 function

domain R.

2) Write the equation of the line:

.

3) State the slope, y-intercept and x-intercept of 2x + 3y =24

.

.

B/ 1) f(x) = 2x2 - 60x + 25

.

.

2) Find the x-intercepts or ZEROS (if any) for:

a) y = x2 - 5x

x(x - 5) = 0

x = 0 or x = 5

b) y = x2 - 4x - 21

(x - 7)(x + 3) = 0

x = 7 or x = - 3

c) y = x2 - 4x + 5

it doesn't factor, use quadratic formula

b 2 - 4ac = -4 < 0, no roots, min k = 1

3) A farmer has 60 meters of fencing to enclose a rectagular field along a riverbank.
The side along the river needs no fence since his cows can't swim.
