Maximum Marks: 30
Due Date: Nov 03, 2010
DON’T MISS THESE: Important instructions before attempting the solution of
this assignment:
• To solve this assignment, you should have good command over 1-10
lectures.
• Try to get the concepts, consolidate your concepts and ideas from these
questions which you learn in the 01 to 10 lectures.
• Upload assignments properly through LMS, No Assignment will be accepted
through email.
• Write your ID on the top of your solution file.
• Don’t use colorful back grounds in your solution files.
• Use Math Type or Equation Editor etc for mathematical symbols.
• You should remember that if we found the solution files of some students are
same then we will reward zero marks to all those students.
• Try to make solution by yourself and protect your work from other students,
otherwise you and the student who send same solution file as you will be
given zero marks.
• All steps are necessary to get full marks.
• Also remember that you are supposed to submit your assignment in Word
format any other like scan images etc will not be accepted and we will give
zero marks correspond to these assignments.
Question 1; Marks:10

Solve the two sided inequality and show the solution on real line
7 < 1-2x ≤ 10
Step 1: subtract 1 from both sides and we get
6<-2x<9
Step2: divide by -2 on both sides and we get
-3>x>-5
(note: symbols are reversed with a negative operation)
So x can have a value between -3 and or equal to -5
--|---|-----|-----|----|---0--------------------------------
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1

Question 2; Marks: 10

Given two functions as:

 3
f(x) = x 2 − x − 1 and g(x) =
x
Find fog(x) also find the domain of f, g and fog
Solution:
Fog(x)=f(g(x))
fog(x)=(g(x))2-(g(x))-1
fog(x)=(3/x)2-(3/x)-1
fog(x)=(9/x2)-3/x-1
fog(x)= -(x2-3x+9)/x2
(note: domain and ranges are to be found out yourselves, listen to lecture No. 6 for this)

Question 3; Marks:10
Simplify, then apply the rules of limit to evaluate
x3 − 5 x2 + 6 x
lim x→3
x2 − 9
Solution:
Lim(x->3) x(x2-5x+6) / x2-32
Lim(x->3) x(x2-3x-2x+6) / (x-3)(x+3)
Lim(x->3) x(x(x-3)-2(x-3)) / (x-3)(x+3)
Lim(x->3) x((x-3)(x-2)) / (x-3)(x+3)
Lim(x->3) x(x-2) /(x+3)
Now applying limits lim x->3
=3(3-2)/3+3
=3(1)/6
=3/6
