4. f(x) = x – 1 , gf (x) = 3 + 2x – x2
find g(x) = ?

-1 1 gf (x) = 3 + 2x – x2
g[f(x)] = 3 + 2x – x2
g[ x – 1 ] = 3 + 2x – x2
-1 let y = x – 1
x=y+1
g[y] = 3 + 2( y + 1 ) – ( y + 1 )2

3.
If f(x) = 2x – 3
g(x) = x2 + 5

a) gf(2) = g [ 2(2) – 3 ]
= g(1) = 6
b) fg( a – 1) = f [ (a – 1)2 + 5]
= 2[a2 – 2a + 5] – 3
= 2a2 – 4a + 7
c) fg( x + 1) = f [ (x + 1)2 + 5 ]
= f [ x2 + 2x + 6 ]
= 2[ x2 + 2x + 6 ] – 3

End values 7 or -1,

d) gf(x) =2(2x2-12x+7)+k=0
Use of b2 − 4ac=0 for two equal
roots
→ 242 – 4(4)(14 + k)=0
k=22.
(b) A line drawn parallel to the y-axis 14. a) since y is a tangent to f(x),
can only cuts the graph at most 1
point. let y=12 –kx (1) substitute into f(x),

f(x) 2x2-8x +kx+2=0

b2-4ac=0, giving (8-k)2-4(2)(2)=0,

x=1 b) 2x2-8x+14
→ 2(x2-4x) +14
