Functions — practice question

The functions are $f(x)=4x-1$, $g(x)=x^2$, and $h(x)=3^{-x}$.
(a(i))[1]

Find, in its simplest form, $f(x - 3)$.

(a(ii))[1]

Find, in its simplest form, $g(5x)$.

(b)[2]

Find $f^{-1}(x)$.

(c)[3]

Find the value of $h(h(1))$, correct to 4 significant figures.

(d(i))[2]

Show that $g(3x - 2) - h(-3)$ can be written as $9x^2 - 12x - 23$.

(d(ii))[4]

Use the quadratic formula to solve $9x^2 - 12x - 23 = 0$. Give your answers correct to 2 decimal places.

(e)[2]
