IB MATH AA SL, Paper 1, May, 2022, TZ2, Solved Past Paper
Master the 2022 IB May for Paper 1 Mathematics AA SL with examiner tailored solutions and comments for TZ2
Question 1 [Explained]
The table provided presents values of ( f (x)) and (g(x)) for different inputs of (x).
Both functions ( f ) and (g) are characterized as one-to-one functions, meaning that each input corresponds uniquely to one output and vice versa, ensuring there are no repetitions in the range for any value in their respective domains.
x | -2 | 0 | 3 | 4 |
f (x) | 8 | 4 | 0 | -3 |
g (x) | -5 | -2 | 4 | 0 |
Question 1 [a] [Explanation]
Can you calculate the value of g(0)? Here, g represents a mathematical function, and we are interested in finding its output when its input is zero.

Question 1 [b] [Explanation]
To clarify the request, you're interested in finding the value of a composite function at a specific point. Here, you need to evaluate the result of applying the function (g) first and then the function ( f ) to the outcome of (g), specifically at the value zero. This process is represented by
This is a standard approach in mathematics to understand how one function's output, starting from a given input, transforms through another function.
