4. Graph function domain & range
(The graph isn’t shown in your PDF, so please upload or describe it — I can’t extract
numerical domain/range without it.)
5. Table of f & g
The table is missing from your PDF.
Please send that part (photo or text) so I can compute (f ∘ g)(−7),(f ∘ g)(0),(f ∘ g)(4) .
6. Algebraic long division
a) Divide −3 x 4 +8 x 3−8 x 2+ 13 x −10by (x−2):
Using synthetic division (root 2):
Coefficients: -3, 8, -8, 13, -10
Bring down -3
→ multiply by 2 = -6, add to 8 = 2
→ multiply by 2 = 4, add to -8 = -4
→ multiply by 2 = -8, add to 13 = 5
→ multiply by 2 = 10, add to -10 = 0
✅ Quotient: −3 x 3+ 2 x 2−4 x+ 5
✅ Remainder: 0
b) Divide −5 x 3−27 x 2+ 23 x +30by (x +6)

Bring down -5
→ ×(-6)=30 → add: -27+30=3
→ ×(-6)=-18 → add: 23-18=5
→ ×(-6)=-30 → add: 30-30=0
✅ Quotient: −5 x 2+3 x +5
✅ Remainder: 0
7. Synthetic Division

Root = -2
Bring down 2
→ ×(-2)=-4 → add: -1-4=-5

✅ Remainder: 27
8. Exponential equations
a) 22 x +1−3(2 x )+1=0
Let y=2x ⇒ 22 x +1=2(22 x )=2 y 2
2 y −3 y +1=0 Solve: (2 y−1)( y−1)=0 ⇒ y=½ ,1
2
So 2 x =1⇒ x =0; 2 x =½ ⇒ x=−1
✅ x = 0 or -1
Let y=3 x ⇒ y 2 +3 y−10=0
b) 32 x +3 x+1−10=0
→ ( y +5)( y−2)=0⇒ y=2(positive only)
⇒ 3 =2 ⇒ x=log 3 2=0.631
x
✅ x = 0.631
c) 22 x +3(2x )−4=0
→ ( y + 4)( y−1)=0 ⇒ y=1 or -4 (reject negative)
Let y=2x : y 2 +3 y−4=0
⇒ 2 x =1⇒ x =0
✅x=0
d) 4 (32 x+1)+17 (3 x )−7=0
2 x+1 2x 2
3 =3(3 )=3 y , let y=3 x :

9. log 3 x−2 log x 3=1
log 3
Use property: 2 log x 3=2 . Let log x=a:
log x
a 2 log 3
Then − =1
log 3 a
Multiply by log 3: a−2 ¿ ¿
Multiply by a : a 2−a log 3−2 ¿
Quadratic in a :
a=log 3 ± √ ¿ ¿¿ → a 1=2 log 3, a 2=−log 3
So log x=2 log 3 ⇒ x =9; or log x=−log 3 ⇒ x=1/3
✅ x = 9 or 1/3
10. log 3 (2−3 x)=log 9(6 x2 −19 x +2)
1
Note log 9= log 3.
2
1 2
So log 3 (2−3 x)= log 3 (6 x −19 x +2)
⇒ 2 log 3 (2−3 x)=log 3 (6 x −19 x +2)
2
2
⇒¿
Expand LHS: 4−12 x +9 x 2=6 x 2−19 x+2
Simplify: 3 x 2+7 x +2=0
→ (3 x +1)(x +2)=0
→ x=−⅓ ,−2
Check domain (2−3 x )>0 ⇒ x <2/3.
Plug x = -⅓ (valid), x = -2 (valid).
✅ x = -⅓, -2
11. Solve
2 x+3
{ 8 y=4
log 2 y=log 2 (x+ 4)
From 2nd eqn ⇒ y=x + 4.
Substitute: 8( x+ 4)=42 x+3
Simplify: 8=23 , 4=22
⇒ 23 (x +4 )=22(2 x +3)=2 4 x+6
3+ log 2 (x+ 4)=4 x +6 ⇒ log 2 (x+ 4)=4 x +3
Take log₂ both sides:
This must be solved numerically.
By inspection:
Try x = -2 → LHS = log₂(2)=1, RHS = -5 → no
x = -1 → LHS = log₂(3)=1.585, RHS = -1 → no
x = 0 → LHS = 2, RHS = 3 → no
x = 0.2 → LHS = log₂(4.2)=2.07, RHS = 3.8 → too high
x negative small maybe? Try x = -0.5 → LHS = log₂(3.5)=1.8, RHS = 1 → close
Between -0.5 and 0, LHS increases slowly, RHS increases fast. No intersection found visually.
You can graph y 1=log 2 (x+ 4) and y 2=4 x +3; intersection near x ≈−0.44 .
✅ x ≈ -0.44, y = x + 4 ≈ 3.56
