Exercise 1.7.5 solution:
![]()
Since
, f is an odd
function.
Exercise 1.7.4 solution:
![]()
So the graph must be symmetric with respect to the origin.

Exercise 1.7.3 solution:
![]()
So the graph must be symmetric with respect to the x-axis.

Exercise 1.7.2 solution:
![]()
Therefore, the function is even.
Exercise 1.7.1 Solution:
![]()
Symmetric with respect to the y axis.

Exercise 1.6.5 solution:
for ![]()

for
.

Exercise 1.6.4 solution:
for ![]()
Interchanging x and y yields ![]()
for
.
Solving for y yields
. Since
, we know it must be
and
.
So
for
.
Exercise 1.6.3 solution:

Exercise 1.6.2 solution:
![]()
Thus, ![]()
Exercise 1.5.5 solution:
for
and
. In interval
notation, the domain of
is
.
Exercise 1.5.4 solution:
![]()
![]()
![]()
for
and
. Thus 0≤x≤16. In interval
notation, the domain of
is [0,16].
Exercise 1.5.3 solution:
![]()
![]()
![]()
for

![]()
Exercise 1.4.5 solution:
Domain
, Range
.
Exercise 1.4.4 solution:
The implicit domain is
. To find the range,
replace
with y and
solve for x to get
. So y
cannot equal to 2. Thus, the range of
the function is
.
Exercise 1.4.3 solution:
Since we cannot divide by 0, we know that x cannot
equal to either 0 or 1. And since we cannot
take the square root of a negative number (remember, output numbers must be
real), then
. Taken together,
these requirements mean that
. Thus the implicit
domain is
.
Exercise 1.4.2 solution:
Since the quantity under the radical must be non-negative,
.
Thus the implicit domain is
.
Exercise 1.4.1 solution:
x can take any value except 3, thus the domain is, in interval notation,
![]()
Exercise 1.3.2 solution:
The graph of ![]()

The graph of ![]()

Exercise 1.3.1 solution:
For the equation
, there is only one possible value for y given any
particular value of x, namely, the square of x. So y is a function of x.
But for the equation
, there can be two values of y for some values of x. For example, for x = 4, y
could have either the value of +2 or -2. Thus, for the second equation, y is not
a function of x.
Exercise 1.2.3 solution:
We want to find
given that
.
We know that
. Then placing
into each of the
parentheses gives:
![]()
And we already know that
.
Thus ![]()
Exercise 1.2.2 solution:
![]()
![]()
![]()
