FOREWORD
This book gives you fully worked solutions for every question in each chapter of the Haese & Harris
Publications textbook which is one of three textbooks in our series
‘Mathematics for the International Student’. The other two textbooks are and
, and books of fully worked solutions are available for those textbooks
also.
Correct answers can sometimes be obtained by different methods. In this book, where applicable,
each worked solution is modeled on the worked example in the textbook.
Be aware of the limitations of calculators and computer modelling packages. Understand that when
your calculator gives an answer that is different from the answer you find in the book, you have not
necessarily made a mistake, but the book may not be wrong either.
We have a list of errata for on our website. Please contact us if you have
any additions to this list.

1 f(x), g(x) and h(x) are all reciprocal functions
which are all asymptotic about the x- and y-axes.
The graphs all lie in the 1st and 3rd quadrants.
The smaller the numerator, the closer is the graph to
the axes. Thus the graph of f(x) =1
xis closer to the
axes than g(x) =2
xfor corresponding values of x,
and g(x) =2
xis closer to the axes than h(x) =

If has an inverse function, then the inverse function must also be a function. Thus, itmust satisfy the ‘vertical line test’, i.e., no vertical line can cut it more than once. This conditionfor the inverse function cannot be satisfied if the original function does not satisfy the ‘horizontalline test’. Thus, the ‘horizontal line test’ is a valid test for the existence of an inverse function.
y f x= ( )
These graphs both fail the ‘horizontal line test’ so neither of these have inverse functions.
f x x x satisfies the ‘vertical line test’ so is thereforea function. It does not however satisfy the horizontal line test as anyhorizontal line above the vertex cuts the graph twice. Therefore itdoes not have an inverse function.

consecutive terms differ by 3.
