Do you know HOW?

Simplify each radical expression. Use absolute value symbols when needed.

  1. square root of 54 , x cubed , y to the fifth end root
  2. cube root of negative , 0.027 end root ,
  3. the fifth , root of negative 64 , x to the fourteenth . y to the twentieth end root ,

Simplify each expression. Rationalize all denominators.

  1. square root of 7 , x cubed end root , dot , square root of 14 x end root
  2. fraction 1 minus , square root of 3 x end root , over square root of 6 x end root end fraction
  3. square root of 48 plus 2 square root of 27 plus 5 square root of 12
  4. open . 3 plus 2 square root of 5 . close . open , 1 minus square root of 20 , close
  5. 4 , square root of 7 x z end root , plus 2 , square root of 7 x z end root
  6. fraction 5 square root of 2 , over square root of 7 minus square root of 2 end fraction

Simplify each expression.

  1. open 125 close super negative , 2 thirds end super
  2. x super 1 sixth end super , dot , x super 1 third end super
  3. open . fraction 8 , x to the ninth , y cubed , over 27 , x squared , y to the twelfth end fraction . close super 2 thirds end super
  4. square root of 8 , x to the fifth end root , minus . square root of 18 , x to the fifth end root

Solve each equation. Check for extraneous solutions.

  1. square root of x minus 3 end root , equals x minus 5
  2. square root of x plus 4 end root , equals , square root of 3 x end root
  3. 2 . open , x minus 1 , close super 3 fourths end super . equals 16
  4. square root of x plus 3 end root , minus 1 equals x

Let f open x close equals x minus 2  and g open x close equals , x squared , minus 3 x plus 2 .  Perform each function operation and then find the domain.

  1. negative 2 g open x close plus f open x close
  2. negative f open x close middle dot g open x close
  3. fraction g , open x close , over f , open x close end fraction

Find each product or quotient.

  1. square root of 5 . open , the fourth , root of 5 , , close
  2. fraction square root of x cubed end root , over the fifth , root of x squared end root , end fraction

For each pair of functions, find ( g composition f close open x close  and open f composition g close open x close .

  1. f open x close equals , x squared , minus 2 comma g open x close equals 4 x plus 1
  2. f open x close equals , 2 x squared , plus x minus 7 comma g open x close equals negative 3 x minus 1

Find the inverse of each function. Is the inverse a function?

  1. f open x close equals . open x plus 3 close squared . plus 1
  2. f , open x close , equals . square root of 2 x plus 1 end root
  3. g open x close equals , 3 x cubed , minus 4
  4. f , open x close , equals , 1 fourth , x

Rewrite each function to make it easy to graph using transformations. Describe the graph.

  1. y equals . square root of 16 x plus 80 end root . minus 1
  2. y equals . square root of 9 x plus 3 end root

Graph. Find the domain and range of each function.

  1. y equals 2 square root of x plus 3
  2. y equals negative . square root of 2 x plus 3 end root
  3. y equals , square root of x plus 3 end root , minus 4

Do you UNDERSTAND?

  1. Writing Explain why negative 108  has no real 6th roots.
  2. Open-Ended Write a relation that is not a function, but whose inverse is a function.
  3. Measurement The time t in seconds for a swinging pendulum to complete one full cycle is given by the function t equals 0.2 , square root of l comma  where l is the length of the pendulum in centimeters. To the nearest tenth, how long is a full cycle if the pendulum is 10 cm long? 20 cm long? How long, in centimeters, is a pendulum that takes 2 seconds for one full cycle?
