  1. Barnett/Ziegler/Byleen College Algebra: A Graphing Approach Chapter Four Inverse Functions:Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

  2. Operations on Functions The sum,difference, product, and quotient of the functions f and g are the functions defined by (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)Sum function (f – g)(x) = f(x) – g(x)Difference function (fg)(x) = f(x) g(x)Product function = Quotient function Each function is defined on the intersection of the domains of f and g, with the exception that the values of x where g(x) = 0 must be excluded from the domain of the quotient function. The composite of f and g is the function defined by (f  g) (x) = f [g(x)]Composite function The domain of f  g is the set of all real numbers x in the domain of g for which g(x) is in the domain of f. 4-1-31

  3. One-to-One Functions A function is one-to-one if no two ordered pairs in the function have the same second component and different first components. Horizontal Line Test A function is one-to-one if and only if each horizontal line intersects the graph of the function in at most one point. (a) f(a) = f(b) for ab; (b) Only one point has ordinate f is not one-to-one f(a); f is one-to-one 4-2-32

  4. Increasing and Decreasing Functions If a function f is increasing throughout its domain or decreasing throughout its domain, then f is a one-to-one function. (a) An increasing function is always one-to-one (c) A one-to-one function is not always increasing or decreasing (b) A decreasing function is always one-to-one 4-2-33

  5. Inverse of a Function If f is a one-to-one function, then the inverse of f, denoted f –1, is the function formed by reversing all the ordered pairs in f. Thus, f–1 = { (y, x) | (x, y) is in f } To find the inverse of a function f: Step 1. Find the domain of f and verify that f is one-to-one. If f is not one-to-one, then stop, since f –1 does not exist. Step 2. Solve the equation y = f(x) for x. The result is an equation of the form x = f –1(y). Step 3. Interchange x and y in the equation found in Step 2. This expresses f –1 as a function of x. Step 4. Find the domain of f –1. Remember, the domain of f –1 must be the same as the range of f. Check your work by verifying that f –1 [ f(x) ] = x for all x in the domain of f , and f [ f –1 (x)] = x for all x in the domain of f –1 4-2-34

  6. Exponential Graphs Basic Properties of the Graph of f(x) = bx, b > 0, b  1 1. All graphs will pass through the point (0, 1) since b0 = 1. 2. All graphs are continuous curves, with no holes or jumps. 3. The x axis is a horizontal asymptote. 4. If b > 1, then bxincreases as x increases. 5. If 0 < b < 1, then bx decreases as x increases. 6. The function f is one-to-one. 4-3-35
