    1) Below is shown the graph of f(x)


    a) Evaluate f(3)
    f(3) = 2
    b) Solve f(x) = 1
    x = 0 or ~3.7

    2) Suppose the function A(t) gives the height of an airplane (in feet) t minutes after
    takeoff.
    a) Interpret A(5)
    Height of the airplane after 5 minutes
    b) Suppose you solve A(t) = 300. What is the meaning of your solution?
    Time when the airplane is 300 feet high

    3) Given the function f(x) defined by the table below,


    x 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
    f(x) 2 4 5 6 5 3 -2 -1

    4) Suppose the following table shows the cost of a latte, in dollars, as a function of the
    size of the latte, in ounces.
    s 8 12 16 20
    C(s) 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5
    a) Evaluate C(12) and give its meaning in practical terms
    C(12) = 2.5. A cost of a 12 oz latte is $2.50
    b) Solve C(s) = 3.0 and give its meaning in practical terms
    s = 16. A 16 oz latte can be bought with $3

    5) Circle all of the following that represent functions

    in 1 4 6 4

    x+4

    a) Evaluate f(3) f(3) = -2/(3+4) = -2/7

    b) Evaluate f −1 (6)
    6 = -2/(x+4) -> 6(x+4) = -2 -> 6x + 24 = -2 -> 6x = -26 -> x = -13/3

    i) f(x) flipped over the x-axis -f(x)

    10) Describe in words the following transformation: -3f(x - 2) + 1


    This is f(x) shifted 2 units to the right, flipped over the x-axis and stretched vertically by a
    factor of 3, then shifted up 1 unit.
