(b) f (x) = x2 , g (x) = 9− x

f  g(x) = f  9 x 
 

= 9 x
=9–x

g  f (x) = g (x2)
= 9  x2

Question 6

D f = [ 2,  ) and R f = [ 3,  ) ; D g = [ 1,  ) and R g = [ 0,  )

For f  g to exist, the range of g must be a subset of the domain of f ,

But, [ 0,  )  [ 2,  ). Thus, f  g does not exist.

f  g will only exist if g is in [ 2,  ) ,

that is , x  1  2  x – 1  4 , x  5.

Therefore, f  g will exist if its domain is [ 5,  ).

Question 7

(a) x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ

xy=4
(r cos θ) (r sin θ) = 4
r 2 cos θ sin θ = 4

(b) x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ

x2 + y2 = 4
(r cos θ)2 + (r sin θ)2 = 4
 r2 (cos2 θ + sin2 θ) = 4
r2 = 4
r =  2

(c) x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ

y2 = 4 x
r2 sin2 θ = 4 r cos θ
r sin2 θ = 4 cos θ

 cos    r sin  
 1 
tan    
 r sin  
Substitution tan θ = (y/x), y = r sin θ
y 1

x y
y2 = x

(b) x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ

r cos θ + r sin θ = 1
x+y=1

(c)
r2 = – 4 r cos θ
Substitution r2 = x2 + y2 and x = r cos θ,
x2 + y2 = – 4 x
x2 + 4 x + y2 = 0
( x + 2 )2 – 4 + y2 = 0
( x + 2 )2 + y2 = 4
