September 27, 2012Inverse of Functions Warm-up: f(x) = x2 – 1 and Find the following compositions, then state the domain 1. (f o g)(x) 2. (g o f)(x) CW 1.9: Pg. 99 #15-23odd, Pg. 90 #35, 37 Test Monday/Tuesday!
What are inverses? f-1(x) • Inverse of multiplication is__________________ • Inverse of addition is______________________ • Inverse of a square root is__________________ • Inverse of squared is______________________ • Inverse of the relation {(-5, 4), (-1, 5), (0, 2), (3, 4)} is:
Lesson 1.9Graphs of Inverses – What do you notice?Make a table for each and graph their points. What do you notice about their points? f(x) = 2x – 3 f(x) = x2, x ≥ 0
Finding the Inverse Function, f -1(x), algebraically Find the inverse function of: f(x) = 3x + 2 1) Rewrite f(x) to y 2) Switch the x and y variables. 3) Solve for y
Show that the two functions are inverses algebraically and graphically
The composition of a function and its inverse will always equal x. Let f and g be two functions: Two functions are inverses if and only if: (f o g)(x) = x and (g o f)(x) = x
Verifying that the two functions are inverses: by using the composition, f(f -1(x)) = x f(x) = 3x + 2 Show that the composition of f and f-1 equals x. Replace x in f(x) with (x – 2)/3 YAY! Simplify = x – 2 + 2 f(f -1(x))= x
Now go the other way… f(x) = 3x + 2 f-1(f(x))
Ways to verify two functions are inverses • The compositions of the two functions equal x: (f o g)(x) = x and (g o f)(x) = x • The graph of the inverse function is a reflection of the graph of f over the y = x line. • If the coordinates of the function are (a, b), the inverse function coordinates are (b, a).
Are the following functions two inverses of each other? Show/explain how to check. f(x) = 1 + 7x and
The inverses of function A and D are functions, but B and C are not. Why? Figure out a rule or a test that tells you whether or not it is a function. A B C D
