Constructed Functions Section 1.2
Constructed Functions • Functions can be used to create new functions • Addition/subtraction • Multiplication/division • Composition • Piecewise connection • Inverting
Constructed Functions • Revenue • Proceeds from sales • Costs • Expenditures from operations Profit = Revenue - Cost Profit = r(t) - c(t) p(t) = r(t) - c(t)
Constructed Functions Revenue Cost Profit
Constructed Functions Output Price Revenue = Price x Output
Constructed Functions • In-Class
Constructed Functions • Function composition • Output of one function is the input to another function
Constructed Functions Adv. Dollars Adv. Dollars Hours Rule f Rule g Hours Sales Sales
Constructed Functions Adv. Dollars Rule f Hours Rule g Sales
Constructed Functions Adv. Dollars Rule h Sales
Constructed Functions Hours from dollars Sales from hours Sales from dollars
Constructed Functions Output from workers Sales from output Sales from workers
Constructed Functions • In-Class
Constructed Functions • Piecewise Functions • Form of the function changes at certain input values • Input values are known as break points
Constructed Functions • Ex: Volume discounts for steel purchases
Constructed Functions • Ex: Price rebates
Constructed Functions • In-Class
Constructed Functions • Inverse Functions • Reverses the input and the output • Preserves the relationship between them
Constructed Functions Adv. Hours Sales Rule f-1 Rule f Sales Adv. Hours
Constructed Functions • One-to-One Function • For an inverse to exist, the original function must be a one-to-one function • If for any two different inputs, you get two different outputs, then the function is a one-to-one function
Sales Hours
Hours Sales
Sales Hours
Constructed Functions • Horizontal line test • If at any output, a horizontal line crosses at more than one point, that function does not have an inverse
Constructed Functions • Ex: Advertising hours to sales
Constructed Functions • Ex: Profit (y) from sales (z)
Constructed Functions • Rules
Constructed Functions • Composition of Inverse Functions • A function and it’s inverse “cancel each other out”
Constructed Functions • f(x) = x2
Constructed Functions • f-1(x) = x1/2
Constructed Functions • In-Class
