(0) 1. Determine whether the statement is True or False. No justification is required. (Write
out ”True” or ”False” in full, Do not use abbreviations like ”T” or ”F.”)

(a) 2G 2 2G + 1 = 0 has two roots.

False As the determinant 0 125 4 2 I 4 co

so the cop has no root

(b) If function 5 (G) is odd, then 5 (0) = 0.

True tix is odd so text fl x for any

(c) 4 G
could be negative for some value of G.

false ex so for any

X Eto x so e is
always positive

soUni To fund the domain we X 11 so Xc

require
so the domain is C x l

the
range of fix is L x ol

the vertical asymptote is x 11 x
