14. Determine the inverse of h(x)=x³+2

15. Solve the system: x + 3y = -2 y = 3x + 6 (-2, 0)

16. Factor each of the following completely: A. 4x²-100 4(x+5)(x-5) B. 10x²-23x+12 (2x-3)(5x-4) C. 2x²-12x+7xy-42y (2x+7y)(x-6)

17. 2x + x x²-1 x²-3x+2 3x (x+1)(x-2)

18. Divide using synthetic division: (2x4 - 3x3 - 6x2 - 8x - 3) / (x - 3)

Simplify: x-2y-1(-2)x-1y-2 xy(-2)3 1___ 4x4y4

20. Solve: x2 - 6x = -7 3+√2 and 3-√2

21. Solve: |y - 8| - 7 = 3 18 or -2

22. Solve 9x-4=275-x X= 23/5 or x=4.6

23. The functions y1=(x-3)5+1 and y2=(x+2)5+5 are graphed on the same axes. Explain how the graph of y2 can be obtained by a translation of y1. Shifted left 5 and up 4.

24. What are the x and y-intercepts for f(x)= 3_ ? 1-x Y-intercept is 3 and there isn’t an x-intercept To find the y-intercept, set x=0 so you get y= 3/(1-0), which is 3. To find the x-intercept, set y=0 so you get 0=3/(1-x) This can never equal 0.

25. Graph y=-3

What is the equation of the line that passes through (1,4) and is perpendicular to y = 2/3 x + 5?

27. Graph the piecewise function: y= -2x if x≤ -1 = 2 if x> -1 Is this a function? What is the domain? What is the range? Yes (-∞, ∞) [2, ∞)

28. Graph y = 2|x+2| - 3 Notice the vertex is at (-2,-3) and the V is skinnier than the parent graph because the slope to the right of the vertex is 2 and the slope to the left of the vertex is -2 (goes up 2, over 1)
