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.
\(f(x) = 2x - 2\), \(x\in [ 1;+\infty )\)
\(f(x) = 2x + 2\), \(x\in (-1;+\infty )\)
\(f(x) = -2x + 2\), \(x\in (-\infty ;1] \)
\(f(x) = -2x - 2\), \(x\in \mathbb{R}\)

Paul's home is \(6\, \mathrm{km}\) from the school. At the time \(t = 0\) Paul starts to walk from his home to the school along a straight street at a constant velocity \(5\, \mathrm{km}/\mathrm{h}\). Find the function which describes Paul's remaining distance to the school as a function of time.
\(s = 6 - 5t\)
\(s = 5t - 6\)
\(s = 5t\)
\(s = 5t + 6\)

A current-voltage characteristics is shown in the graph. Find the current \(I\) as a function of the voltage \(U\).
\(I = \frac{2} {3}U -\frac{4}{3};U\in [2;\infty) \)
\(I = \frac{3} {2}U - 2;U\in [2;\infty) \)
\(I = \frac{3} {2}U + 2;U\in [2;\infty) \)
\(I = \frac{2} {3}U + 2;U\in [2;\infty) \)

Given a function \(f(x) = \frac{x} {3} + 1\), find the function \(g\) such that the graph of \(g\) is symmetric with the graph of \(f\) about the \(y\)-axis.
\(g\colon y = -\frac{x} {3} + 1\)
\(g\colon y = 3x + 1\)
\(g\colon y = -3x + 1\)
\(g\colon y = -\frac{x} {3} - 1\)
Such a function does not exist.
