2.1.1
v(x)v(x) is not a function.
This is because it fails the vertical line test. For any x>0x > 0, a vertical line drawn through the graph of v(x)v(x) intersects it at two distinct yy-values (one positive and one negative), which violates the definition of a function.

2.1.2
To make vv a function, we must restrict its range so that for each xx-value, there is only one yy-value.
The conditions are:

  • v(x)=xv(x) = \sqrt{x} (where y≥0y \ge 0)
  • OR v(x)=−xv(x) = -\sqrt{x} (where y≤0y \le 0)

2.1.3
2.1.3.1 yy for which w(x)<0w(x) < 0
The function w(x)=log⁡xw(x) = \log x. From the graph, w(x)w(x) is negative when 0<x<10 < x < 1. In this interval, the yy-values of w(x)w(x) range from −∞-\infty up to (but not including) 0.
Therefore, y<0y < \boxed{0}.

2.1.3.2 xx for which w(x)≤−710w(x) \le -\frac{7}{10}
The point A(49100;−710)A\left(\frac{49}{100}; -\frac{7}{10}\right) is on the graph of w(x)w(x). Since w(x)=log⁡xw(x) = \log x is an increasing function, for w(x)w(x) to be less than or equal to −710-\frac{7}{10}, the corresponding xx-values must be less than or equal to 49100\frac{49}{100}. Also, the domain of w(x)=log⁡xw(x) = \log x is x>0x > 0.
Therefore, 0<x≤49100\boxed{0 < x \le \frac{49}{100}}.

2.1.4
Assuming "5.1.2" is a typo and refers to "2.1.2", we consider the two conditions for v(x)v(x) to be a function:

  • Case 1: If v(x)=xv(x) = \sqrt{x} (with domain x≥0x \ge 0 and range y≥0y \ge 0)
  1. Let y=xy = \sqrt{x}.

  2. Swap xx and yy

    x=yx = \sqrt{y}.

  3. Square both sides to solve for yy

    x2=yx^2 = y.

  4. The domain of v−1(x)v^{-1}(x) is the range of v(x)v(x), so x≥0x \ge 0.

    Thus, $v^{-1}(x) = \boxed{x^2, \text{ for } x \ge 0}$.
    
    • Case 2: If v(x)=−xv(x) = -\sqrt{x} (with domain x≥0x \ge 0 and range y≤0y \le 0)
  5. Let y=−xy = -\sqrt{x}.

  6. Swap xx and yy

    x=−yx = -\sqrt{y}.

  7. Multiply by −1-1

    −x=y-x = \sqrt{y}.

  8. Square both sides to solve for yy

    (−x)2=y  ⟹  x2=y(-x)^2 = y \implies x^2 = y.

  9. The domain of v−1(x)v^{-1}(x) is the range of v(x)v(x), so x≤0x \le 0.

    Thus, $v^{-1}(x) = \boxed{x^2, \text{ for } x \le 0}$.
    

    2.1.5
    Assuming the question asks to "calculate the value of h(1)h(1)" (as "range of h(1)h(1)" is not standard terminology for a single point).
    Given h(x)=w(x)−xh(x) = w(x) - \sqrt{x}.

  10. Substitute x=1x=1 into the expression for h(x)h(x).

    h(1)=w(1)−1h(1) = w(1) - \sqrt{1}
  11. Evaluate w(1)w(1) using w(x)=log⁡xw(x) = \log x.

    w(1)=log⁡1=0w(1) = \log 1 = 0
  12. Evaluate 1\sqrt{1}.

    1=1\sqrt{1} = 1
  13. Substitute these values back into the expression for h(1)h(1).

    h(1)=0−1h(1) = 0 - 1 h(1)=−1h(1) = \boxed{-1}
