Calculus: Early Transcendentals

True/False: Determine whether each of the statements that follow is true or false. If a statement is true, explain why. If a statement is false, provide a counterexample.
(a) True or False: The domain of a function of the form $f+g$ is equal to the domain of $f$ or the domain of $g$, whichever is smaller.
(b) True or False: The domain of a function of the form $f \cdot g$ is equal to the intersection of the domains of $f$ and $g$.
(c) True or False: If the graph of $y=f(x)$ contains the point $(a, b)$, then the graph of $y=f(x)+C$ must contain the point $(a, b+C)$.
(d) True or False: If the graph of $y=f(x)$ contains the point $(a, b)$, then the graph of $y=f(x+C)$ must contain the point $(a+C, b)$.
(e) True or False: The inverse of the one-to-one function $f(x)=x^{5}$ is $f^{-1}(x)=x^{-5}$.
(f) True or False: If $f$ is an invertible function, then $f^{-1}=\frac{1}{f}$
(g) True or False: Every even function is a function that involves only even exponents.
(h) True or False: If $f$ is an even function and $(0, b)$ is a point on the graph of $y=f(x)$, then $(0,-b)$ must also be on the graph of $y=f(x)$.

Examples: Construct examples of the thing(s) described in the following. Try to find examples that are different than any in the reading.
(a) A pair of functions $f$ and $g$ for which $f \circ g$ happens to be equal to $g \circ f$.
(b) A function $f$ that is its own inverse.
(c) A function $f$ that is both even and odd.

Explain what the definition of $(f-g)(x)$ ought to be. Show that this definition is just a combination of the definitions of $(f+g)(x)$ and $k f(x)$.

Suppose $(2,5)$ is a point on the graph of $y=f(x)$. Fill in the blanks with the transformed coordinates of this point under each of the following transformations:
(a) $\quad$ is on the graph of $f(x)-4$.
(b) $\quad$ is on the graph of $f(x-4)$.
(c) $\quad$ is on the graph of $-7 f(x)$.
(d) is on the graph of $f\left(\frac{1}{3} x\right)$.
(e) $\quad$ is on the graph of $3 f(x+1)$.
(f) $\quad$ is on the graph of $f(3 x+1)$.

Fill in the blanks as appropriate. There may be more than one possible answer.
(a) If the (b) If $(3,-2)$ is on the graph of $y=f(x)$, then $(6,-2)$ is on the graph of the function
(c) If $(1,4)$ is on the graph of an even function $y=f(x)$, then $\quad$ is also on the graph of $y=f(x)$.
(d) If $(-2,5)$ is on the graph of an odd function $y=f(x)$, then $\quad$ is also on the graph of $y=f(x)$.point ________ then $(4,2)$ is on the graph of $y=f(x-3)$.
