Subject: Mathematics H2 · Level: A-Level · Paper: Practice Paper (Algebra & Functions) · Total Marks: 60

Section A: Functions, Domain and Range

1. [2]

Domain: $x - 3 \ge 0 \Rightarrow x \ge 3$ , so domain $= \{x \in \mathbb{R} : x \ge 3\}$ .
Range: $\sqrt{x-3} \ge 0$ , so range $= \{y \in \mathbb{R} : y \ge 0\}$ .
Marks: 1 for domain, 1 for range.

2. [2]

$\ln(5 - x)$ defined when $5 - x > 0 \Rightarrow x < 5$ .
Domain $= \{x \in \mathbb{R} : x < 5\}$ .
Marks: 2 for correct inequality.

3. [3]

$h(x) = x^2 + 2x = (x+1)^2 - 1$ .
Domain $x \ge -1$ means minimum at $x = -1$ : $h(-1) = -1$ .
As $x \to \infty$ , $h(x) \to \infty$ .
Range $= \{y \in \mathbb{R} : y \ge -1\}$ .
Marks: 1 completion of square, 2 range.

4. [3]

$p(x) = x^2 - 4x + 3 = (x-2)^2 - 1$ is a parabola with axis $x=2$ .
It is not one-to-one on $\mathbb{R}$ (fails horizontal line test; e.g., $p(1)=p(3)=0$ ).
Hence no inverse exists.
Marks: 1 not one-to-one, 2 explanation/example.

5. [4]

Let $y = 2x + 1 \Rightarrow x = \frac{y-1}{2}$ .
So $q^{-1}(x) = \frac{x-1}{2}$ .
Domain of $q^{-1}$ is $\mathbb{R}$ (since range of $q$ is $\mathbb{R}$ ).
Marks: 2 inverse, 2 domain.

6. [3]

$r(x)=e^x$ is strictly increasing, hence one-to-one on $\mathbb{R}$ ; inverse exists.
$r^{-1}(x) = \ln x$ , domain $x > 0$ .
Marks: 1 reason, 1 rule, 1 domain.

7. [4]

$y = \frac{1}{x-2} \Rightarrow x-2 = \frac{1}{y} \Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{y} + 2$ .
$s^{-1}(x) = \frac{1}{x} + 2$ , domain $x \ne 0$ .
Range of $s^{-1}$ is $y \ne 2$ (since $s$ has domain $x\ne2$ ).
Marks: 2 inverse, 1 domain, 1 range.

Section B: Composite and Inverse Functions

8. [4]

$g(x)=x^2$ , domain $\mathbb{R}$ , range $y \ge 0$ .

$fg(x) = f(g(x)) = x^2 + 3$ .

Marks: 1 existence, 2 expression/domain.

10. [4]

$vu(x) = v(u(x)) = 2(\frac{1}{x}) + 1 = \frac{2}{x} + 1$ .

Range: as $x>0$ , $\frac{2}{x}>0 \Rightarrow y>1$ .
Marks: 2 expr, 1 domain, 1 range.

11. [3]

$fg(x) = f(g(x)) = f(\frac{x+2}{3}) = 3(\frac{x+2}{3}) - 2 = x+2-2 = x$ .
