Problem 9

Determine whether the given algebraic expression is a polynomial. If it is, list its leading coefficient, constant term, and degree. $$\frac{7}{x^{2}}+\frac{5}{x}-15$$

Problem 22

Find (a) The difference quotient of the function; (b) The vertex of the function's graph; (c) The value of the difference quotient at the \(x\) -coordinate of the vertex. $$g(x)=2 x^{2}-x-1$$

Problem 23

Find the horizontal asymptote, if any, of the graph of the given function. If there is a horizontal asymptote, find a viewing window in which the ends of the graph are within .1 of this asymptote. $$f(x)=\frac{2 x^{3}+4 x^{2}+2 x+1}{3 x^{3}-4 x^{2}-2 x}$$

Problem 27

Analyze the function algebraically. List its vertical asymptotes, holes, y-intercept, and horizontal asymptote, if any. Then sketch a complete graph of the function. $$f(x)=\frac{2 x}{x+1}$$

Problem 28

If the graph of the quadratic function \(h\) is shifted vertically 3 units upward, then reflected in the \(x\) -axis, and then shifted horizontally 5 units to the right, the resulting graph is the parabola \(f(x)=x^{2} .\) What is the rule of the function \(h ?\) What is the vertex of its graph?

Problem 29
