1What is the remainder when the polynomial $P(x) = 2x^3 - 3x^2 + 4x - 5$ is divided by $x - 2$?
A.7
B.5
C.11
D.3
Explanation: By the Remainder Theorem, when a polynomial $P(x)$ is divided by $x - c$, the remainder is equal to $P(c)$. Substituting $c = 2$ into $P(x)$ yields: $P(2) = 2(2)^3 - 3(2)^2 + 4(2) - 5 = 2(8) - 3(4) + 8 - 5 = 16 - 12 + 8 - 5 = 7$.
2What is the maximal domain of the real-valued function $f(x) = \sqrt{3x - 12}$?
A.[4, \infty)
B.(4, \infty)
C.(-\infty, 4]
D.[12, \infty)
Explanation: For a square root function to yield real values, the radicand must be non-negative: $3x - 12 \ge 0 \implies 3x \ge 12 \implies x \ge 4$. Therefore, the maximal domain in interval notation is $[4, \infty)$.
3The graph of $y = x^2$ is dilated vertically by a scale factor of 3, then translated 2 units right and 5 units up. What is the equation of the transformed graph?
A.y = 3(x - 2)^2 + 5
B.y = 3(x + 2)^2 + 5
C.y = \frac{1}{3}(x - 2)^2 + 5
D.y = 3(x - 5)^2 + 2
Explanation: Starting with $y = x^2$: vertical dilation by 3 gives $y = 3x^2$. Translating 2 units right replaces $x$ with $(x - 2)$, giving $y = 3(x - 2)^2$. Translating 5 units up adds 5 to the expression, yielding $y = 3(x - 2)^2 + 5$.
4What is the equation of the axis of symmetry for the parabola $f(x) = 2x^2 - 8x + 3$?
A.x = 2
B.x = -2
C.x = 4
D.x = -4
Explanation: The axis of symmetry for a quadratic function $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$ is given by $x = -\frac{b}{2a}$. Here $a = 2$ and $b = -8$, so $x = -\frac{-8}{2(2)} = \frac{8}{4} = 2$.
5According to the Factor Theorem, if $x + 3$ is a factor of $P(x) = x^3 + kx^2 - 5x + 3$, what is the value of $k$?
A.1
B.-1
C.3
D.-3
Explanation: By the Factor Theorem, $x + 3$ is a factor of $P(x)$ if and only if $P(-3) = 0$. Substituting $x = -3$: $P(-3) = (-3)^3 + k(-3)^2 - 5(-3) + 3 = -27 + 9k + 15 + 3 = 9k - 9 = 0 \implies 9k = 9 \implies k = 1$.
6Given $f(x) = 2x^2 - 1$ and $g(x) = 3x + 2$, find the rule for the composite function $(f \circ g)(x)$.
A.18x^2 + 24x + 7
B.18x^2 + 7
C.6x^2 + 3
D.18x^2 + 12x + 3
Explanation: To evaluate $(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x))$, substitute $g(x) = 3x + 2$ into $f$: $f(3x+2) = 2(3x+2)^2 - 1 = 2(9x^2 + 12x + 4) - 1 = 18x^2 + 24x + 8 - 1 = 18x^2 + 24x + 7$.
7Find the inverse function $f^{-1}(x)$ for $f(x) = \frac{2x + 1}{x - 3}$, where $x > 3$.
A.f^{-1}(x) = \frac{3x + 1}{x - 2}, \text{ where } x > 2
B.f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 3}{2x + 1}, \text{ where } x \neq -\frac{1}{2}
C.f^{-1}(x) = \frac{3x - 1}{x + 2}, \text{ where } x > -2
D.f^{-1}(x) = \frac{2x - 1}{x + 3}, \text{ where } x > -3
Explanation: Let $y = \frac{2x + 1}{x - 3}$. Swap $x$ and $y$: $x = \frac{2y + 1}{y - 3} \implies x(y - 3) = 2y + 1 \implies xy - 3x = 2y + 1 \implies xy - 2y = 3x + 1 \implies y(x - 2) = 3x + 1 \implies y = \frac{3x + 1}{x - 2}$. Since the original domain was $x > 3$, the range of $f$ is $y > 2$, which becomes the domain $x > 2$ of $f^{-1}(x)$.
8For what values of $m$ does the quadratic equation $x^2 + mx + (m + 3) = 0$ have exactly one repeated real root?
A.m = 6 \text{ or } m = -2
B.m = -6 \text{ or } m = 2
C.m = 3 \text{ or } m = -4
D.m = 12 \text{ or } m = -1
Explanation: A quadratic equation has one repeated real root when its discriminant $\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = 0$. Here $a = 1$, $b = m$, and $c = m + 3$. $\Delta = m^2 - 4(1)(m+3) = m^2 - 4m - 12 = 0$. Factoring the quadratic in $m$: $(m - 6)(m + 2) = 0 \implies m = 6$ or $m = -2$.
9Determine the range of the function $f(x) = x^2 - 4x + 7$ defined on the restricted domain $x \in [0, 5]$.
A.[3, 12]
B.[7, 12]
C.[3, 7]
D.[0, 12]
Explanation: Complete the square: $f(x) = (x - 2)^2 + 3$. The vertex is at $x = 2$, which lies inside $[0, 5]$. The minimum value occurs at the vertex: $f(2) = 3$. Evaluate endpoint values: $f(0) = 0^2 - 4(0) + 7 = 7$ and $f(5) = 5^2 - 4(5) + 7 = 25 - 20 + 7 = 12$. The range is the minimum to maximum value: $[3, 12]$.
10The graph of $y = x^3$ undergoes a horizontal dilation by a scale factor of 2 from the y-axis, followed by a reflection in the y-axis. What is the equation of the resulting graph?
A.y = -\frac{x^3}{8}
B.y = -8x^3
C.y = \frac{x^3}{8}
D.y = -\frac{x^3}{2}
Explanation: A horizontal dilation by scale factor 2 replaces $x$ with $\frac{x}{2}$, giving $y = \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^3 = \frac{x^3}{8}$. A reflection in the y-axis replaces $x$ with $-x$, giving $y = \left(-\frac{x}{2}\right)^3 = -\frac{x^3}{8}$.
