Steps to Solve
- Identify the first question's requirements
The first question checks which of the options can represent a function with the specified domain $[0, 2]$. A valid function must pass the vertical line test, meaning that no vertical line can intersect the graph at more than one point.
- Analyze the options for Question 1
-
A. A single point $(0, 2)$ is valid since it defines a function.
-
B. The segment joining $(0, 0)$ and $(1, 2)$ is valid since it passes the vertical line test.
-
C. The square with vertices $(0, 0), (2, 0), (2, 2), (0, 2)$ fails, as vertical lines will intersect it at multiple points.
-
D. The lower half of a circle will also fail the vertical line test.
- Determine the correct option for Question 1
The valid choices are A and B. Based on the domain $[0, 2]$, either option can represent the graph of a function. More than one valid answer here implies "none of the above" might be considered inaccurate.
- Identify the second question's requirements
The second question requires finding the range of the function $f(x) = \frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{x^2}}$. Simplifying this function first is necessary.
- Simplify the function for Question 2
Since $\sqrt{x^2} = |x|$, we rewrite the function as: $$ f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{x + 1}{x}, & x > 0 \ \frac{x + 1}{-x}, & x < 0 \end{cases} $$
- Analyze the function for the range
For $x > 0$, $f(x) = 1 + \frac{1}{x}$, and as $x \to 0^+$, $f(x) \to \infty$. For $x < 0$, the function $f(x) = -1 - \frac{1}{|x|}$ approaches $-\infty$ as $x \to 0^-$. Thus, the function ranges from $(-\infty, -1) \cup (1, \infty)$.
- Identify the correct option for Question 2
The correct option is C: $(-\infty, -1) \cup (1, \infty)$.
- Identify the third question's requirements
The question asks for the value of $\tan^{-1}(\tan x)$ for $0 < x < \pi$ and $x \neq \frac{\pi}{2}$. We need to apply the properties of the inverse tangent and tangent functions.
- Evaluate $\tan^{-1}(\tan x)$
The result is $x$ when $x$ is within the range of $\tan^{-1}$. Since $0 < x < \pi$, we adjust for the discontinuities of $\tan$ in that interval.
- Identify the correct option for Question 3
The value of $\tan^{-1}(\tan x)$ yields different results depending on where $x$ falls in terms of multiples of $\pi$. For $0 < x < \pi$, our correct answer aligns with option B, which states the two possibilities for when x lies in intervals appropriately adjusted for quadrant checks.
-
B (the segment joining the points (0,0) and (1,2))
-
C $(-\infty, -1) \cup (1, \infty)$
-
A $x$
More Information
-
A function defined by a single point or a line segment can be valid based on the vertical line test.
-
The range calculation shows how the function behaves at limits, particularly around 0, given the discontinuity of the square root in the denominator.
-
The inverse tangent function provides crucial insights into dealing with angle properties, especially concerning periodic functions like tangent.
Tips
- Failing to check the validity of functions against the vertical line test.
- Ignoring the absolute value when simplifying the range of rational functions.
- Misunderstanding the behavior of inverse functions in specified intervals.
