is not a function.
This is because it fails the vertical line test. For any , a vertical line drawn through the graph of intersects it at two distinct -values (one positive and one negative), which violates the definition of a function.
2.1.2
To make a function, we must restrict its range so that for each -value, there is only one -value.
The conditions are:
- (where )
- OR (where )
2.1.3
2.1.3.1 for which
The function . From the graph, is negative when . In this interval, the -values of range from up to (but not including) 0.
Therefore, .
2.1.3.2 for which
The point is on the graph of . Since is an increasing function, for to be less than or equal to , the corresponding -values must be less than or equal to . Also, the domain of is .
Therefore, .
2.1.4
Assuming "5.1.2" is a typo and refers to "2.1.2", we consider the two conditions for to be a function:
- Case 1: If (with domain and range )
Let .
Swap and
.
Square both sides to solve for
.
The domain of is the range of , so .
Thus, $v^{-1}(x) = \boxed{x^2, \text{ for } x \ge 0}$.- Case 2: If (with domain and range )
Let .
Swap and
.
Multiply by
.
Square both sides to solve for
.
The domain of is the range of , so .
Thus, $v^{-1}(x) = \boxed{x^2, \text{ for } x \le 0}$.2.1.5
Assuming the question asks to "calculate the value of " (as "range of " is not standard terminology for a single point).
Given .Substitute into the expression for .
Evaluate using .
Evaluate .
Substitute these values back into the expression for .
