1. Let: ๐(๐ฅ) = โ|5๐ฅ โ 2| and ๐(๐ฅ) = โ3
a) SOLVE for x:
f (x) = g(x)
. What information about the graphs of these functions does the
solution give us?
b) SOLVE the inequality:
f (x) ๏ณ g(x)
c) Graph the two functions on the same coordinate plane. Does the graph back up your solution from
part (b)?
2. Sketch the graph: ๐(๐ฅ) = (๐ฅ โ 2)

g x = x + . Use long division to show that g is a
factor of f. Explain.
b) Use the result found above to find all of the zeros (real and complex) of the polynomial f.
4. Let ๐(๐ฅ) = 4๐ฅ
4 + 5๐ฅ
3 + 9๐ฅ
2 + 10๐ฅ + 2.
a) List all of the possible rational zeros.
b) Use the division to factor the polynomial
f (x)
completely. HINT: -1/4 is a zero of f .
c) Find all of the zeros of
f (x)
and state the multiplicity of each zero.
5. Let the function f be defined as follows:
๐(๐ฅ) =
๐ฅ

a) What is the domain of f ?
b) Does the graph of f have any vertical asymptotes? If so, find them.
c) Does the graph of f have any horizontal asymptotes? If so, find them.
d) Where will the graph of f intercept the x-axis?
e) Where will the graph of f intercept the y-axis?
f) Sketch the graph of f.
