Interpreting Graphs

1.  The following graph tells a story about Peter’s walk to school. Answer the following questions about the graph

a.  What is the independent and dependent variable?

b.  What is the meaning of the y-intercept?

c.  What do the increasing parts of the graph mean? What does the decreasing part of the graph mean?

2. Juliet is 5 feet tall. She throws a rock at Romeo’s window which is 15 feet off of the ground. It takes 2 seconds for the rock to hit the window and 2.5 seconds for the rock to fall back to the ground. Draw a graph to represent the time and height of the rock. Remember to label the axes.

3. Describe each of the following key features of the graph of

f(x) = (x + 1)2(x - 1)3(x - 3)

g(x) / 2 / 3 / -1 / 4
f(g(x)) / f(g(-1))=
g(f(x)) / g(f(3))=

Inverse Functions

2. Determine the inverse of the functions.

a.  f(x) = 2x – 5 b. c.

d.  h(x) = e. g(x) =

3. Prove that the functions are inverses of each other.
