Jane has to reach the opposite shore of a lake. She has three possibilities how to cross. She can use her own boat, start immediately and sail at the velocity \(4\, \mathrm{km}/\mathrm{h}\). Another option is to wait for her friend, Peter, with a faster boat. Peter's boat is capable to sail at the velocity \(10\, \mathrm{km}/\mathrm{h}\). However, his boat will be available in \(1.5\) hours from now. The last option is to use the regular passenger transportation line which will departure in \(2.25\) hours from now and sails at the speed \(20\, \mathrm{km}/\mathrm{h}\). Find the interval of distances to the opposite shore for which the fastest option is to use Peter's boat.
between \(10\) and \(15\) kilometers
up to \(10\) kilometers
between \(15\) and \(20\) kilometers
larger that \(20\) kilometers

Consider the function \[ f(x) = [x] + 3 \] on the domain \(\mathop{\mathrm{Dom}}(f) = (1;2)\). Find the parameters \(a\) and \(b\) and a domain of the linear function \[ g\colon y = ax + b \] which ensure that \(f\) and \(g\) are identical functions. \[ \] Hint: The function \(y = [x]\) is a floor function: the largest integer less than or equal to \(x\). For positive \(x\) it is also called the integer part of \(x\).
\(a = 0\), \(b = 4\); \(\mathop{\mathrm{Dom}}(g) = (1;2)\)
\(a = 0\), \(b = 3\); \(\mathop{\mathrm{Dom}}(g) = (1;2)\)
\(a = 3\), \(b = 0\); \(\mathop{\mathrm{Dom}}(g) = (1;2)\)
\(a = -3\), \(b = 0\); \(\mathop{\mathrm{Dom}}(g) = (1;2)\)

Consider the function \[ f(x) =\mathop{ \mathrm{sgn}}\nolimits (x - 2) \] defined on \(\mathop{\mathrm{Dom}}(f) =\mathbb{R} ^{-}\). Find the parameters \(a\) a \(b\) and domain of the linear function \[ g(x) = ax + b \] which ensure that \(f\) and \(g\) are identical functions. \[ \] Hint: The function \(y =\mathop{ \mathrm{sgn}}\nolimits (x)\) is the sign function. The values of sign function is \(1\) for each positive \(x\), \(- 1\) for each negative \(x\) and \(0\) if \(x = 0\).
\(a = 0\), \(b = -1\); \(\mathop{\mathrm{Dom}}(g) =\mathbb{R} ^{-}\)
\(a = 0\), \(b = 1\); \(\mathop{\mathrm{Dom}}(g) =\mathbb{R} ^{+}\)
\(a = 1\), \(b = 0\); \(\mathop{\mathrm{Dom}}(g) =\mathbb{R} ^{-}\)
\(a = -1\), \(b = 0\); \(\mathop{\mathrm{Dom}}(g) =\mathbb{R} ^{+}\)

Identify a function which has the following three properties: it has at least one minimum or maximum, it is an increasing function and the range of this function is the set of all nonnegative numbers.
\(f(x) = 2x - 2\), \(x\in [ 1;+\infty )\)
\(f(x) = 2x + 2\), \(x\in (-1;+\infty )\)
\(f(x) = -2x + 2\), \(x\in (-\infty ;1] \)
\(f(x) = -2x - 2\), \(x\in \mathbb{R}\)
