4. DO NOT USE THE GRAPHING FEATURES OF YOUR CALCULATOR FOR THIS PROBLEM. Graph the
function .
5. Let . Find the inverse function of . State the inverse function’s
domain and range.
6. Find the quotient and remainder when is divided by .
7. Solve
8. Let . Find the rational zeros of using the rational zeros
theorem (note: if you like, you can find one of the zeros using the rational zeros theorem then
find the other 2 by other techniques)
