A

Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate (f∘g)(3) where f(x) = 2x + 5 and g(x) = x^2.
[2 marks]
2.
If f(x) = 3x - 4 and g(x) = x + 7, what is (g∘f)(2)?
[2 marks]
3.
Construct a composition where (f∘g)(x) results in 5x + 2. Given g(x) = 2x, find f(x).
[3 marks]
4.
Plot the graph of y = (g∘f)(x), where f(x) = x + 3 and g(x) = 2x.
[3 marks]
B

Fluency & Practice

Answer all questions. Focus on procedural mastery with increasing difficulty.
1.
Find (f∘g)(4) where f(x) = x^2 + 1 and g(x) = 3x.
[2 marks]
2.
Calculate (g∘f)(-2) with f(x) = 2x - 1 and g(x) = x/2.
[2 marks]
3.
Given f(x) = x - 4 and g(x) = 3x, find (f∘g)(2).
[2 marks]
C

Problem Solving & Reasoning

Solve these multi-step problems and explain your reasoning clearly.
1.
A bakery uses two functions: f(x) = x + 10 for the number of cupcakes added daily, and g(x) = 2x for the total cupcakes after baking. If the bakery starts with 20 cupcakes, what is the total after applying g∘f? Explain the steps.

D

Real-world Applications

Contextual word problems involving order in composite functions.
1.
A car's speed is modeled by f(x) = 60 + 5x (where x is hours), and the distance traveled is g(x) = speed × time. Find the total distance after 4 hours if you first calculate the speed change in f and then find the distance in g. Explain the process.

E

Challenge & Extension

Tackle these more difficult problems involving order.
1.
Given f(x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) = x^2, find (g∘f)(x). Determine the result when x=2. Why does the order change the answer?
[3 marks]
2.
Create a composition such that (f∘g)(x) = 4x + 1, with g(x) = 2x. Find f(x).
[3 marks]
F

Mixed Review

Variety of question types to reinforce understanding of order.
1.
Identify and correct the mistake: If f(x) = x + 3 and g(x) = 2x, students compute (g∘f)(x) as 2(x + 3) = 2x + 3.
[3 marks]
2.
Plot the graph of (g∘f)(x) where f(x) = x - 1 and g(x) = 3x.
[3 marks]
