c. The root(s) or zeros of f (x)

c) 0 = 2x + 5
-5 = 2x
x = -2.5
7. For the functions (𝑥) = −3𝑥 + 1, 𝑔(𝑥) = 3 − 2𝑥 2 , find the following:

a. ( f g )(1) = -2 a) g(x) = 3 - 2(1)^2

g(x) = 3-2 = 1
f(x) = -3(1)+ 1
f(x) = -3 + 1 = -2
b. (𝑔 𝑜 f)(−2)
b) f(x) = -3(-2) + 1
f(x) = 6 + 1 = 7
= -95 g(x) = 3 -2(7)^2
g(x) = 3 -2(49)
c. ( g g )(0)
g(x) = 3 -98 = -95
c) g(x) = 3 - 2(0)^2
= -15 g(x) = 3 - 2(0) = 3
g(x) = 3 - 2(3)^2
g(x) = 3 - 2(9)
g(x) = 3 -18 = -15

9. The pressure exerted by a liquid at a given points varies directly as the depth of the point
beneath the surface of the liquid. The pressure at 80 feet is 320 pounds per square inch.
What is the pressure at 20 feet?

320 x
= (20)320
80 20 =x
80 x = 80 pounds per square inch

10. Half the graph of y = f(x) is shown below. Draw the rest of the graph so the f(-x) = -f(x).
