2 \( f(x)=25-x^{2} \), \( g(x)=5+x \) β€” operations & evaluation
(i) \( f(x)+g(x) \) \[ \begin{aligned} f(x)+g(x) &= (25 - x^{2}) + (5 + x) \\ &= -x^{2} + x + 30 \end{aligned} \]

(ii) \( f(x)-g(x) \) \[ \begin{aligned} f(x)-g(x) &= (25 - x^{2}) - (5 + x) \\ &= 25 - x^{2} -5 - x \\ &= -x^{2} - x + 20 \end{aligned} \]

(iii) \( f(x)\cdot g(x) \) \[ \begin{aligned} f(x)\cdot g(x) &= (25 - x^{2})(5 + x) \\ &= 125 + 25x -5x^{2} - x^{3} \\ &= -x^{3} -5x^{2} + 25x +125 \end{aligned} \]

(iv) \( \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} \) \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} &= \frac{25 - x^{2}}{5 + x} = \frac{(5-x)(5+x)}{5+x} \\ &= 5 - x, \quad x \neq -5 \end{aligned} \]

(v) \( f(7) \) \[ \begin{aligned} f(7) &= 25 - (7)^{2} = 25 - 49 = -24 \end{aligned} \]

(vi) \( g(-8) \) \[ \begin{aligned} g(-8) &= 5 + (-8) = -3 \end{aligned} \]
3 Composition: \( f(x)=x^{3},\; g(x)=14+2x \)
(i) \( (f \circ g)(x) \) \[ \begin{aligned} (f\circ g)(x) &= f(g(x)) = f(14+2x) \\ &= (14 + 2x)^{3} \end{aligned} \]

(ii) \( (g \circ f)(x) \) \[ \begin{aligned} (g\circ f)(x) &= g(f(x)) = g(x^{3}) \\ &= 14 + 2x^{3} = 2(7+x^{3}) \end{aligned} \]

(iii) \( (f \circ f)(x) \) \[ \begin{aligned} (f\circ f)(x) &= f(f(x)) = f(x^{3}) \\ &= (x^{3})^{3} = x^{9} \end{aligned} \]

(iv) \( (g \circ g)(x) \) \[ \begin{aligned} (g\circ g)(x) &= g(g(x)) = g(14+2x) \\ &= 14 + 2(14+2x) = 14+28+4x \\ &= 4x + 42 = 2(2x+21) \end{aligned} \]
4 Find \( f^{-1}(x) \)
(i) \( f(x)=9x-1 \) \[ \begin{aligned} y &= 9x-1 \;\Rightarrow\; y+1 = 9x \\ x &= \frac{y+1}{9} \;\Rightarrow\; f^{-1}(y)=\frac{y+1}{9} \\ \therefore\; f^{-1}(x) &= \frac{x+1}{9} \end{aligned} \]

(ii) \( f(x)=\frac{5}{x-1},\; x\neq 1 \) \[ \begin{aligned} y &= \frac{5}{x-1} \;\Rightarrow\; y(x-1)=5 \\ xy - y &=5 \;\Rightarrow\; xy = 5+y \\ x &= \frac{5+y}{y} \;\Rightarrow\; f^{-1}(y)=\frac{5+y}{y} \\ \therefore\; f^{-1}(x) &= \frac{5+x}{x} \end{aligned} \]

(iii) \( f(x)=\sqrt{x-5},\; x\ge 5 \) \[ \begin{aligned} y &= \sqrt{x-5} \;\Rightarrow\; y^{2}=x-5 \\ x &= y^{2}+5 \;\Rightarrow\; f^{-1}(y)=y^{2}+5 \\ \therefore\; f^{-1}(x) &= x^{2}+5,\; x\ge 0 \end{aligned} \]

(iv) \( f(x)=\frac{3-x}{2} \) \[ \begin{aligned} y &= \frac{3-x}{2} \;\Rightarrow\; 2y = 3-x \\ x &= 3-2y \;\Rightarrow\; f^{-1}(y)=3-2y \\ \therefore\; f^{-1}(x) &= 3-2x \end{aligned} \]
5 Graph absolute value functions
(i) \( f(x)=7|x| \) Vertex at \((0,0)\), V-shaped symmetric.
Graph of f(x)=7|x| V-shaped passing through (-2,14), (0,0), (2,14)
Graph: \( f(x)=7|x| \)

(ii) \( f(x)=|x+6|-2 \) Vertex \((-6,-2)\), opens upward.
Absolute value graph shifted left 6 and down 2, vertex at (-6,-2)
Graph of \( |x+6|-2 \)

Note: The vertex occurs at \(x=-6\) and the graph is symmetric about vertical line \(x=-6\).

6 Solve \( |3x-2|=1 \) and \( |6x+1|=9 \) (number line)
(i) \( |3x-2| = 1 \) \[ \begin{aligned} 3x-2 = 1 &\;\text{or}\; 3x-2 = -1 \\ 3x=3 &\;\Rightarrow\; x=1 \\ 3x=1 &\;\Rightarrow\; x=\frac{1}{3} \end{aligned} \] Solution set: \( \left\{\frac{1}{3},\;1\right\} \)
Number line with points 1/3 and 1 marked

(ii) \( |6x+1| = 9 \) \[ \begin{aligned} 6x+1 = 9 &\;\Rightarrow\; 6x=8 \;\Rightarrow\; x=\frac{4}{3}=1\frac{1}{3}\\ 6x+1 = -9 &\;\Rightarrow\; 6x=-10 \;\Rightarrow\; x=-\frac{5}{3}=-1\frac{2}{3} \end{aligned} \] S.S = \( \left\{ -1\frac{2}{3},\; 1\frac{1}{3} \right\} \)
Number line with points -5/3 and 4/3
7 Solve inequalities \( |7-2x|\le 1 \) and \( |6x+18|\le 24 \)
(i) \( |7-2x| \le 1 \) \[ \begin{aligned} -1 \le 7-2x \le 1 &\;\Rightarrow\; -8 \le -2x \le -6 \\ \text{multiply by } -1 &: 8 \ge 2x \ge 6 \;\Rightarrow\; 3 \le x \le 4 \end{aligned} \] Interval: \([3,4]\)
Number line interval from 3 to 4 inclusive

(ii) \( |6x+18| \le 24 \) \[ \begin{aligned} -24 \le 6x+18 \le 24 &\;\Rightarrow\; -42 \le 6x \le 6 \\ &\;\Rightarrow\; -7 \le x \le 1 \end{aligned} \] Solution: \([-7,\;1]\)
Number line from -7 to 1 with closed circles
8 \( f(x)=3x+7 \) : inverse and intersection
(i) \( f^{-1}(x) \) \[ \begin{aligned} y &= 3x+7 \;\Rightarrow\; y-7=3x \\ x &= \frac{y-7}{3} \;\Rightarrow\; f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x-7}{3} \end{aligned} \]

(ii) Solve \( f(x)=f^{-1}(x) \) \[ \begin{aligned} 3x+7 &= \frac{x-7}{3} \\ 9x+21 &= x-7 \\ 8x &= -28 \\ x &= -\frac{7}{2} \end{aligned} \] Hence \( x = -\frac{7}{2} \).
9 Break-even analysis: \( P(x)=100x-10000 \)
\[ \begin{aligned} P(x) &= 0 \\ 100x - 10000 &= 0 \\ 100x &= 10000 \\ x &= 100 \end{aligned} \]

βœ… The company must sell 100 items to break even.

10 Discount function: \( D(p)=0.85p \), original price Rs.2000
\[ \begin{aligned} D(2000) &= 0.85 \times 2000 \\ &= 1700 \end{aligned} \]
Selling price after 15% discount: Rs. 1,700
11 GPS accuracy: \( |100 - r| \le 6 \)
\[ \begin{aligned} |100 - r| &\le 6 \\ -6 &\le 100 - r \le 6 \\ -106 &\le -r \le -94 \\ 94 &\le r \le 106 \end{aligned} \]

The acceptable reported location \( r \) lies in \( [94,\;106] \) metres.
