SUMMARY

The function f is defined piecewise as f(x) = sqrt(7-3x) for x ≤ 1 and f(x) = 3x^2 - 4x + 3 for x > 1. The range of f is determined to be [2, ∞). The composite function hg(x) = 24 - 9x - 4sqrt(7-3x) has a domain of (-∞, 7/3) and a range of [3, ∞). To ensure hg is one-to-one, further analysis is required to identify the largest set for the domain and corresponding range.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of piecewise functions
  • Knowledge of composite functions
  • Familiarity with domain and range concepts
  • Ability to analyze functions graphically
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to determine the range of piecewise functions
  • Study the properties of composite functions
  • Explore methods for identifying one-to-one functions
  • Practice plotting functions to visualize their behavior
USEFUL FOR

Students studying calculus, particularly those focusing on functions and their properties, as well as educators looking for examples of piecewise function analysis.

Homework Statement



The function f is defined by

f(x) = sqrt(7-3x) , x<=1

= 3x^2-4x+3 , x>1

(1) Find the range of f

(2) if g(x)=sqrt(7-3x) , h(x)=3x^2-4x+3 in the case where f is continuous , find the composite function hg and state its domain and range.

(3) Determine the largest set for the domain and the corresponding range such that hg is one to one.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



(1) Range=[2,infinity)

(2) hg(x)=24-9x-4sqrt(7-3x)

domain=(- inifinity , 7/3)

range = [3 , infinity)

(3) some hints on this.

You didn't get the correct range in part (2).

Try plotting hg(x). It'll help you see the answers for parts (2) and (3).
