4. (a) The natural domain of f is x 6= −1, and for g it is the set of all x. f (x) = g(x) on the intersection of their
domains.
(b) The domain of f is the set of all x ≥ 0; the domain of g is the same, and f (x) = g(x).
5. (a) 1999, $47,700 (b) 1993, $41,600
(c) The slope between 2000 and 2001 is steeper than the slope between 2001 and 2002, so the median income was
declining more rapidly during the first year of the 2-year period.

(b) From 1993 to 1996 the median income increased from $41.6K to $44K (K for ‘kilodollars’; all figures approx-
imate); the average rate of increase during this time was (44 − 41.6)/3 K/yr = 2.4/3 K/yr = $800/year. From
1996 to 1999 the average rate of increase was (47.7 − 44)/3 K/yr = 3.7/3 K/yr ≈ $1233/year. The increase was
larger during the last 3 years of the period.
(c) 1994 and 2005.
