Instructions. Do each of the following 10 problems. Each problem is worth 5pts. Show all appropriate details in your solutions.

  1. Find: (a) the distance between (2, −3) and (− 1 , 1) and (b) the midpoint of (2, −3) and (− 1 , 1).
  2. Write the equation of the circle x^2 + y^2 − 14 x + 8y + 56 = 0 in standard form, and find the center and radius of the circle.
  3. (a) Is the graph of x^2 + y^2 = 25 the graph of a function? Explain.

(b) Find the domain of f (x) =

x + 3 −

3 − x

. Write your answer in interval form.

  1. Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (− 3 , 2) and is parallel to the line y + 2x = 14. Write your answer in slope-intercept form.
  1. Consider the function f (x) = 2x^2 + 5x − 4. Find the vertex of the graph of f and find the range of f.
  2. Compute the difference quotient

f (x + h) − f (x) h

for the function f (x) = − 5 x^2 + x.

  1. Let f (x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = x^2 + 3x − 1. Find f ◦ g and g ◦ f.
