This is a (lengthy) practice exam for Exam 1.

NOTE: There may be random lines that look like \texttt{(SOME TEXT)} and maybe even some { } within that text. You can ignore everything that isn’t the text itself; ie the texttt bit and the braces, they are an artifact of how some randomization is being done that I haven’t had time to fix yet. If you literally delete the \texttt and the braces from what you see, and just keep the text itself, it will read exactly as intended. So just ignore all those texttt and braces whenever you see them.

Also note: Some of the below has randomized elements, some do not. Currently Xronos does not support randomized graphing (although we’re working on it!) so a lot of the graphing problems won’t randomize, but a surprising amount of the other problems will change values or text if you hit the green “another” button in the top right corner to get another version of this practice exam. This also means it may take some time for the entire test to render because we have to rely on public servers to do the randomization for us currently, so please be patient. If it takes more than 3-5 minutes to fill out the random values (meaning: if there are still spinning wheels of death going after 3-5 minutes) there is a problem. Try hitting the “another” button to see if it resolves itself. If it keeps doing this, please contact your instructor and let him know!

If a function is invertible, then and must have the same parent function.

This is false, but only because is invertible.This is true even for partial inverses.This would be true, but only for (all) partial inverse functions.False, it is possible for a function and its inverse to have different parent functions.True, but only if is actually a true inverse.

If the point is on the graph of , then which point is on the graph of (the graph of inverse) where ?

Let be a relation. If is a function, must it be true that is a function?

Yes, being a function means it passes the horizontal line test, so is therefore a function.No, if the inverse is a function, then cannot be a function.Yes, because the inverse can only be defined if is a function.Yes, being a function means it passes the vertical line test, so is therefore a function.No, it’s possible the inverse is a function but the original would not be.

If exists, then passes the horizontal line test.

This is only true for continuous functionsThis is never true.This is true, whether or not is a function.This is only true if is a function.There is not enough information to know if this is true.

If the point is on the graph of , then which point is on the graph of (the graph of inverse) where ?

Let be a relation. If is a function, must it be true that is a function?

No, if the inverse is a function, then cannot be a function.Yes, because the inverse can only be defined if is a function.No, it’s possible the inverse is a function but the original would not be.Yes, being a function means it passes the horizontal line test, so is therefore a function.Yes, being a function means it passes the vertical line test, so is therefore a function.

If a function has a relative maximum and a relative minimum, must it have an absolute extrema?

Yes because there must be an absolute extrema between the relative minumum or maximum.No, it’s possible to have relative maximums and minimums, but no absolute extrema.There is not enough information to know.Yes because there must be an absolute extrema beyond the relative minumum/maximum.Yes, because one of the relative extrema must also be an absolute extrema.

If a continuous function has no absolute extrema, and it has a relative maximum, must it have a relative minimum?

Yes.No, it’s possible to have no absolute maximum or minimums, and only relative maximums.No, it’s not possible to have a function with no absolute maximum or minimums, yet still have a relative maximum.No, but if it had a relative minimum, then it would have to have a relative maximum.There is not enough information to answer this question.

If the function has zeros, then how many zeros must have?

There is not enough information to tell.

If you double the height of and then move it up by 4 is it the same as doubling the height and then moving it to the left by 4?

There is not enough information to answer.This is never true.This is always true.Sometimes this is true, but definitely not always.

Which of the following represents the translation that moves the graph of up by ?

Which of the following represents a rigid translation?

If a function has a single absolute extrema, must it have a relative maximum or a relative minimum?

Yes, the absolute extrema must be either a relative maximum or relative minimum.There is not enough information to know.No because it’s impossible to have a function that has only one absolute extrema.Yes, because all relative extrema must also be absolute extrema.No, it is possible to have an absolute extrema without any relative maximum or minimums.

Is it possible to have a discontinuous function without any relative extrema?

Yes, but only if it is an infinite discontinuity.No, regardless of the type of discontinuity.Yes, but only if it is an infinite or jump discontinuity.Yes, but only if it is a jump discontinuityYes, regardless of the type of discontinuity.

If the function has zeros, then how many zeros must have? (Hint, consider this in terms of translations or transformations)

There is not enough information to tell.
