Accepted Answer

$$2x + h$$

Question 10

A cube has side length $$s. $$The volume $$V as a $$function of $$s is$$ $$V(s) = s^3$. What is the appropriate domain for this function in a real-world context?

Accepted Answer

$$\{s \mid s \u003e 0\}$$

Question 11

Given $$f(x) = \dfrac{1}{x}$$ and $$g(x) = \sqrt{x}$$, what is the domain of $$(f + g)(x)$$?

Accepted Answer

$$\{x \mid x \u003e 0\}$$

Question 12

If $$f(x) = x^2$ - 4$$ and $$g(x) = x + 2$$, what is $$(f - g)(x)$$?

Accepted Answer

$$x^2 - x - 6$

Question 13

A medical researcher models the temperature $$T (in$$ $$^\circC) of a $$patient as a function of time $$t (in $$hours) after taking medication: $$T(t) = 37 - 0.5t. $$What is the temperature 4 hours after taking the medication?

Accepted Answer

$$T(4) = 35^\circC$$
