1.3 NEW FUNCTIONS FROM OLD
+ Area of oil spilled from a tanker grows with time: Radius is also a function of time: Area given as a function of time: After 5 hours, t=5,
Example 2: Express h(t) = (1 + t3)27 as a composition of two functions: Or
For example, f(x) = x4 + x2 is even because f(-x) = (-x)4 + (-x)2 = x4 + x2 = f(x) and f(x) = x3 + xis old because f(-x) = (-x)3 + (-x)= -x3 + (-x)= -(x3 + x) = -f(x)
Independent variable for f is the dependent variable for f-1. The domain for f is the range for f-1and the range for f is the domain for f-1 Function f must be one-to-one for f-1 to exist.
Example: Consider the function y = x3 , find f-1. Solution: To find the inverse, we solve for x, giving x = y1/3 . So the inverse function is f-1(y) = y1/3or if we want to call the independent x, f-1(x) = x1/3
