Answer Key

1)

i)  Domain: (-5, 5]

ii)  Range : [-4, 4]

iii)  Maximum: y = 4

iv)  Minimum: y = -4

v) Discrete or Continuous?

Continuous

vi)  y – intercept:

y = 0

vii)  x – intercept:

x = 0 and x = 5

viii)  7 𝑓(5)  = 0

2) 

i)  Domain : [0, 12]

ii)  Range: [0, 8]

iii)  Maximum: y = 8

iv)  Minimum: y = 0

v)  Interval of Increase: (0, 3)

vi)  Interval of Decrease: (9, 12)

vii)  𝑓(2) = 4 and 𝑓(9) = 8

f(2) + f(9) = 4 + 8 ==> 12
