Math 1021 Exam #3 Sample Problems
1. Determine the slope, y-intercept, and average rate of change of each linear
function and sketch its graph.
(a) f (x) = 3x – 4 (b) g(x) = -(2/5)x + 7
2. Find the vertex and intercepts of the quadratic function f (x) = -x2 – 4x + 5 and use
them to sketch the graph of the function.
3. Find the vertex and intercepts of the quadratic function f (x) = 2x2 – 6x and use
them to sketch the graph of the function.
4. Determine whether each quadratic function has a minimum or maximum value
and determine the minimum/maximum point.
(a) f (x) = 3x2 + 15x + 25 (b) g(x) = -0.4x2 + 16x + 490
5. (a) Find a polynomial function having the zeros 5 (multiplicity 2), −7, and 7.
(b) Find a polynomial function with real coefficients having the zeros 1 and
2 + i.
For problems 6-8, solve each inequality and express the solution set in interval
notation.
6. x2 + x – 6 ≤ 0
7. 2x3 > 8x
8. (3x + 8)/(x – 4)
9. Determine the following for the function f (x) = -4x(x + 3)2(x – 2)2.
(a) The zeros of the function and their multiplicities.
(b) Whether the graph of the function crosses or touches the x-axis at each zero.
(c) The maximum number of turning points possible for the graph.
(d) The power function that resembles the graph of at the ends.
