You can add, subtract, and multiply them. These three operations obey the rules for integers. There's a polynomial division algorithm that fills formally the same role as the usual division algorithm for integers. Polynomials added to, subtracted from, or multiplied by other polynomials yield only polynomials. Likewise, integers added to, subtracted from, or multiplied by other integers yield only integers.
We know that if (x,y) lies on the graph of a function, then (y,x) lies on the graph of its inverse.
This means you need to draw the segment with endpoints (9,1) and (2,3).
Parallel lines are the top & bottom lines - labelled 10 & 2
A = 0.5(2+10) x 2
=12 units^2
Hope this helps!
11. YES. Because each x-value is only used once (no duplicate x-coordinates)
12. range is the y-values. the lowest it goes is -2 (with an open dot), then it goes to +2 (with an open dot). then there is a separate line where y = 4.
Answer: (-2, 2) U [4, 4]
13. f(-1): when x = -1, y = ??? <em>(do not count the open dot!)</em>
Answer: 1
14. f(3): when x = 3, y = ??? <em>(do not count the open dot!)</em>
Answer: 4
