Study Notes

Problem 1

  • Functions and their properties: The problem involves analyzing two functions, g(x) and f(x), with specific expressions. Key characteristics include identifying asymptotes, increasing/decreasing intervals, and points of intersection.

  • Limits: Analyzing limits of functions as x approaches specific values (positive or negative infinity, or particular points) is crucial.

  • Derivatives: Calculating and analyzing first and potentially second derivatives of functions to determine slopes and concavity, and critical points.

  • Asymptotes: Determining if any horizontal or oblique (slant) asymptotes exist for the given functions.

  • Graphing: Understanding the relationship between function behavior (as determined by limits, derivatives) and plotting the graphs, including the relative location of curve to asymptotes and points of intersection

  • Tangents: Finding tangents to the curve at specific points or those parallel to a given line and their equations are examined in detail.

  • Equation solving: Solving equations involving the given functions and parameters (like m). These may be solved graphically, numerically or algebraically.

Problem 2

  • Functions and their properties (log function): The problem introduces a function involving logarithmic and absolute value functions.

  • Limits: Analyzing limits of functions for different values of x, including limits at the ends of defined intervals.

  • Derivatives: Finding derivative (first and possibly second) of the given function.

  • Asymptotes: Analyzing and finding vertical, horizontal, or oblique asymptotes.

  • Concavity: Analyzing the behavior of the function (concavity).

  • Local Extrema: Identifying points where the function reaches local maximum or minimum values.

  • Graphing: Analyzing the properties and plotting the graph of the function.

  • Equations: Finding solutions to equations involving functions, possibly involving finding roots or other specific outcomes.

  • Tangents: Finding and analyzing tangents or lines parallel to tangents to the function’s graphs and solving for specific conditions.
