2. (a) Sketch the straight line \(2x + 3y + 4\)
(b) Find the equation of the straight line which is perpendicular to the line in (a) and goes through the point (1,1)
(c) Sketch the two lines on the \(xy\)-plane

3. As dry air moves upward, it cools at a rate of about 1°C for each 100 m rises, up to about 12 km.
(a) If the ground temperature is 20°C find a formula for the temperature (T) at height \(h\) (in km.
(b) What range of temperature can be expected if a plane takes off and reaches a maximum height of 5 km.

6. Sketch the graph of \(y = |2x^2 - 3x - 2|\).

7. Sketch the graph of \(y = x^2 - 10x + 28\) by completing the square and applying some translations to the graph of \(y = x^2 \)

9. Given the functions: \(f(x) = 2x^2 = 2\) \(g(x) = \sqrt{x^2 - 4}\) Find the following functions and determine their domains.
(a) \(f + g\)
(b) \(f - g\)
(c) \(f/g\)
(d) \(g/f\)
(e) \(gf\)
(f) \(f \circ g \)

10. Find \(f \circ g \circ h\) and \(h \circ g \circ f\)
\(f(x) = |x| g(x) = \frac{x}{2x - 4} h(x) = \sqrt[3]{x + 2}\)

12. A group of students decides to wrap a length of rope around the earth along the equator. If the radius of the earth at the equator is 6,378km, how long must the rope be ?
If the students now decide to raise the rope so that it is held 1m above the surface of the earth all the way around, how much longer must the rope be ? ( First try to guess the answer, then calculate it)

14. The number \(1.23456789\overline{123456789}\) is a repeating decimal and thus a rational number. Write it in the form \(\frac{p}{q}\) where \(p,q \in \mathcal{Z}\)
