If there is a 40% off sale at Kohl’s and you receive an extra 10% with your mom’s coupon, how much will you pay for a $250 jacket?. Don’t be fooled!!!! You DO NOT get 50% off…. This is an example of a _____ function. ● Since you get 40% off, you will pay 60% of the original price.

If there is a 40% off sale at Kohl’s and you receive an extra 10% with your mom’s coupon, how much will you pay for a $250 jacket? Don’t be fooled!!!! You DO NOT get 50% off…
This is an example of a _____ function. ● Since you get 40% off, you will pay 60% of the original price. ● Since you get an additional 10% off of that, you will pay 90% of that price. ● So what are the two equations? g(x) = .9x f(x) = .6x
We put the two together in a COMPOSITE function that looks like this: g(f(x)) Alternate notation: (g○ f)(x) • So to solve g(f(250))… f(x) = .6x g(x) = .9x • First find f(250) f(250) = .6(250) = 150 • 2. Then compute g(150) = .9(150) = 135
Multiply by 5 Multiply by 5 Add 3 Add 3 Consider the functions: x x 5x x + 3 Think of x going through two “function machines.”To find g(f(x)) – start with f(x)!! x 5(x+3) x + 3
FINAL ANSWER g(f(x)) = 5x + 15
Example: Show that f(g(x)) = 96x-48 f(x) = 12x,g(x) = 8x – 4 I’ll show you how I want you to write it, showing your steps to receive maximum credit!
You try these! If f(x) = 3 – x and g(x) = 4x, (a) Find (i) (f ○ g)(1) (ii) (g ○ f)(5) (b) Show that (g ○ f)(x) = 12 - 4x (c) Find (f ○ g)(3x2)
The Identity Function • You plug in x, and you get x right back out! i(x) = x OR i : x x Example:Show that f ○ g = i.
Inverse FunctionsThe inverse function, f-1, undoes whatever f does. • So if f is an “add 3 machine” – then what is f-1? • If f is a multiply by 5 machine, what is f-1?
How to find the inverse algebraically. • Example 1: Find the inverse of f(x) = 7x + 2 Now you try it! If f(x) = 4 – 3x, (a) find f-1(x) (b) show that (i) f○f-1 = i (ii) f-1○f= i
**Be sure to include the restricted domain of the inverse if necessary so that it is a function!!! Example: f(x) = x2.Find the inverse, and state the domain so that the inverse function is defined.
Sample IB Question • What you need to know: ln = natural logarithm – the same laws apply to ln as to log. The inverse of ln(x) is ex. • Let f(x) = ln (x+5) + ln (2), for x > -5 • Find f-1(x). Let g(x) = ex (b) Find (gof)(x), giving your answer in the form ax + b
IB Question 2 The functions f(x) and g(x) are defined by f(x) = ex and g(x) = ln(1+2x). (a) Write down f-1(x). (b) (i) Find f ( g ( x )). (ii) Find (f o g)-1(x)
Graphing Inverses On your calculator, graph each of the following pairs of inverses and see if you can determine the relationship between an inverse and its graph. • f(x) = 7x + 2 f-1(x) = 1/7 (x – 2) • f(x) = x2 + 3, x ≥ 0 f-1(x) = √x - 3, x ≥ 3 • f(x) = x1/3 + 2 f-1(x) = (x – 2)3
