12.1 Inverse Functions • For an inverse function to exist, the function must be one-to-one. • One-to-one function – each x-value corresponds to only one y-value and each y-value corresponds to only one x-value. • Horizontal Line Test – A function is one-to-one if every horizontal line intersects the graph of the function at most once.

12.1 Inverse Functions

• For an inverse function to exist, the function must be one-to-one.

• One-to-one function – each x-value corresponds to only one y-value and each y-value corresponds to only one x-value.

• Horizontal Line Test – A function is one-to-one if every horizontal line intersects the graph of the function at most once.

12.1 Inverse Functions

• f-1(x) – the set of all ordered pairs of the form (y, x) where (x, y) belongs to the function f. Note:

• Since x maps to y and then y maps back to x it follows that:

12.1 Inverse Functions

• Method for finding the equation of the inverse of a one-to-one function:

1. Interchange x and y.

2. Solve for y.

3. Replace y with f-1(x)

12.1 Inverse Functions

• Graphing inverse functions: The graph of an inverse function can be obtained by reflecting (getting the mirror image) of the original function’s graph over the line y = x

12.2 Exponential Functions

• Exponential Function: For a > 0 and a not equal to 1, and all real numbers x,

• Graph of f(x) = ax:

1. Graph goes through (0, 1)

2. If a > 1, graph rises from left to right. If 0 < a < 1, graph falls from left to right.

3. Graph approaches the x-axis.

4. Domain is: Range is:

12.2 Exponential Functions

• Property for solving exponential equations:

• Solving exponential equations:

1. Express each side of the equation as a power of the same base

2. Simplify the exponents

3. Set the exponents equal

4. Solve the resulting equation

12.3 Logarithmic Functions

• Definition of logarithm:

• Note: logax and ax are inverse functions

• Since b1 = b and b0 = 1, it follows that:logb(b) = 1 and logb(1) = 0

• Logarithmic Function: For a > 0 and a not equal to 1, and all real numbers x,

• Graph of f(x) = logax :

1. Graph goes through (0, 1)

2. If a > 1, graph rises from left to right. If 0 < a < 1, graph falls from left to right.

3. Graph approaches the y-axis.

13.1 Additional Graphs of Functions Shifting of Graphs

• Vertical Shifts:The graph is shifted upward by k units

• Horizontal shifts:The graph is shifted h units to the right

• If a < 0, the graph is inverted (flipped)• If a > 1, the graph is stretched (narrower)

If 0 < a < 1, the graph is flattened (wider)

• Composite function: function of a functionf(g(x)) = (f g)(x)

Example: if f(x) = 2x – 1 and g(x) = x2 thenf(g(x)) = f(x2) = 2x2 – 1

• What is g(f(2))?

• Does f(g(x)) = g(f(x))?
