First, find \( f(1/4) = (1/4 + 2) / (1/4) = 9 \). Then, \( g(f(1/4)) = g(9) = ln(2 \cdot 9 - 5) = ln(13) \).
The transformation \( y = 3h(x+2) \) involves a horizontal shift and a vertical stretch. The term \( h(x+2) \) shifts the graph 2 units to the left, while \( 3h(x) \) vertically stretches the graph by a factor of 3, altering the steepness of the parabola without changing its direction. The new turning points must be re-evaluated accordingly .
The inverse function \( h^{-1}(x) \) is nonexistent because \( h(x) \) is not a one-to-one function over its entire domain. The absolute value creates a symmetry around \( x = 1 \), leading to multiple outputs for a single input \( h(x) \) when attempting to invert, violating the horizontal line test .
To solve \(|4x + 3| > 7 - 2x\), first consider the two cases of the absolute value: \( 4x + 3 > 7 - 2x \) and \( -(4x + 3) > 7 - 2x \). For \( 4x + 3 > 7 - 2x \), solve to get \( x > 2/3 \). For \( -(4x + 3) > 7 - 2x \), solve to get \( x < -5 \). The combined solution is \( x > 2/3 \) or \( x < -5 \).
Domain restrictions are critical for \( g(x) = ln(2x-5) \) because the natural logarithm function is only defined for positive arguments. Thus, \( 2x - 5 > 0 \) is required, leading to \( x > 2.5 \). This ensures that the logarithm function operates within its valid domain and avoids undefined negative or zero arguments .
The range of \( h(x) = 3x \) is all real numbers (\( \mathbb{R} \)), since \( x \) can take any real value, resulting in \( h(x) \) ranging over \( \mathbb{R} \). In contrast, \( f(x) = 4(x-2) \) is defined for \( x \geq 0 \), and its range is \( f(x) \geq -8 \).
The function \( h(x) = 2/3|x-1| - 7 \) has a minimum value at \( h(x) = -7 \). For \( k < -23/3 \), the line \( 2/3x + k \) does not intersect with \( h(x) \) because \( -7 \) is the lowest value that can achieve intersection; any \( k \) less than this results in no solution .
For \( p(x) \) to equal \(-20\), evaluate both cases of the piecewise definition: \( 4x + 5 = -20 \) gives \( x = -25/4 \), and \( -x^2 + 4 = -20 \) requires solving \( x^2 = 24 \), yielding \( x = 2\sqrt{6} \). Thus, \( a = -25/4 \) or \( a = 2\sqrt{6} \).
The function \( p(x) \) is piecewise defined by \( p(x) = 4x + 5 \) for \( x < -2 \) and \( p(x) = -x^2 + 4 \) for \( x \geq -2 \). To graph \( p(x) \), plot the linear function for \( x < -2 \) and the quadratic function for \( x \geq -2 \). The range of \( p(x) \) is \( p(x) \leq 4 \) because the maximum value of the quadratic function part (-parabola) is 4, achieved at \( x = 0 \).
To find the inverse of \( g(x) = x^3 + 1 \), solve \( y = x^3 + 1 \) for \( x \), which gives \( x = (y - 1)^{1/3} \). Thus, \( g^{-1}(x) = (x - 1)^{1/3} \). For the composite function \( f(g(x)) \) where \( f(x) = 4(x-2) \), the composite is \( f(g(x)) = 4((x^3 + 1) - 2) = 4(x^3 - 1) \).
