1. **Problem Statement:** Determine periodicity, smallest period if exists, evenness, oddness, and bijectivity of given functions from graphs and formulas.
2. **Periodicity Definition:** A function $f$ is periodic if there exists smallest positive $T$ such that $$f(x+T) = f(x) \text{ for all } x.$$ The smallest such $T$ is called the fundamental period.
3. **Analysis of Graphs (M1 230):**
- a) Diagonal lines downward evenly spaced indicate a linear function, which is not periodic.
- b) Jagged wave with repeating peaks/troughs is periodic. The smallest period $T$ equals the horizontal distance between repeating features.
- c) Steps going diagonally upward are non-periodic.
- d) Horizontal piecewise constant lines do not repeat periodically.
4. **Conclusion on Periodicity:** Only graph b) is periodic with smallest period $T$ estimated from the graph.
5. **Even and Odd Functions (M1 231):**
- Even: $f(-x) = f(x)$
- Odd: $f(-x) = -f(x)$
6. **From given graphs:**
- a) Linear function, neither even nor odd, not periodic.
- b) Discrete points, no periodicity.
- c) Sinusoidal-like oscillations suggest periodicity; check symmetry for even/odd.
- d) Discrete points, no periodicity.
7. **Bijectivity and Inverse Functions (M1 237):**
- a) $f(x) = 2x - 3$ is linear, strictly increasing, hence bijective.
Solve for inverse:
$$y = 2x - 3 \Rightarrow 2x = y + 3 \Rightarrow x = \frac{y + 3}{2}$$
So, $$f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x + 3}{2}$$
- b) $f(x) = -2x + 2$ is linear, strictly decreasing, hence bijective.
Solve for inverse:
$$y = -2x + 2 \Rightarrow -2x = y - 2 \Rightarrow x = \frac{2 - y}{2}$$
So, $$f^{-1}(x) = \frac{2 - x}{2}$$
8. **Graphical Check:** Graphs of $f$ and $f^{-1}$ are symmetric about the line $y = x$, confirming inverse relationship.
**Summary:**
- Only graph b) in M1 230 is periodic with smallest period $T$.
- Functions in M1 231 mostly non-periodic except sinusoidal-like ones.
- Functions in M1 237 are bijective with inverses as derived.
