- In Exercises 29–30, find f(-x) – f(x) for the given function f. Then simplify the expression. 29. f(x) = x + x - 5 30. f(x) = x² – 3x + 7arrow_forwardDifferentiate the function. y = 3(x2 - 1)3(x2 + 1)5arrow_forwardIn Exercises15–36, find the points of inflection and discuss theconcavity of the graph of the function. f(x)=\frac{6-x}{\sqrt{x}}arrow_forward
- Exercises 103–110: Let the domain of f(x) be [-1,2] and the range be [0, 3 ]. Find the domain and range of the following. 103. f(x – 2) 104. 5/(x + 1) 105. -/(x) 106. f(x – 3) + 1 107. f(2x) 108. 2f(x – 1) 109. f(-x) 110. -2/(-x)arrow_forward5)- Draw this function f(x) = 3x - 1.arrow_forwardThe bar graph shows the percentage of country A high school seniors who applied to more than three colleges for selected years from 1980 through 2013. The data in the bar graph can be modelled by f(x)=x+32 and g(x)=32.7e0.0271x in which f(x) and g(x) represent the percentage of high school seniors who applied to more than three colleges x years after 1980. Use these functions to complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. According to the linear model, what percentage of high school seniors applied to more than three colleges in 2013? b. According to the exponential model, what percentage of high school seniors applied to more than three colleges in 2013? c. Which function is a better model for the data shown by the bar graph in 2013? Exponential or linear?arrow_forward
