The letter e used as a base in Examples 2, 3, and 6, is not an unknown. It is a number called the natural base for exponential functions. It is the most common base in Calculus, because functions with base e are easier to differentiate and integrate than functions with other bases. By definition,

LESSON 7-2 DIFFERENTIATING AND INTEGRATING EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS

Use your calculator to graph xy e and its derivative in the same coordinate plane. What do you notice? e is the only base for which the basic exponential function and its derivative are the same. For other bases, a logarithmic “hook-on” is required.

LESSON 7-3 DERIVATIVES OF INVERSE FUNCTIONS At right are the graphs of a function ( )f x and its inverse 1( )f x� . Remember that if the graph of f contains the point (a, b), then the graph of 1f � contains the point (b, a). Also, the graph of 1f � is the reflection of the graph of f across the line y x . From the graphs above, do you see a relationship between the slope of the graph of f at (a, b) and the slope of the graph of 1f � at (b, a)?

Example 1: Let ( )f x x . a. Sketch the graph of ( )f x . b. Find 1( )f x� . Hint: You must list a domain restriction.

c. Sketch the graph of 1( )f x� in the same coordinate plane as the graph of ( ).f x d. Differentiate both ( )f x and 1( )f x� . e. Find the slope of the graph of ( )f x at (4, 2) and the slope of the graph of 1( )f x� at

(2, 4).

f. What conclusion can you make about these slopes?

Since slope ym

x'

'

, it should make sense that switching x and y (for inverse

functions) should produce reciprocal slopes for inverse functions.

Derivatives of Inverse Functions:

If (a ,b) is a point on f, then (b ,a) is a point on 1f � , and 1 1( ) ( )( )

or if f and g are inverse functions, then � �

Derivatives of inverses have reciprocal slopes at “image points” (points reflected across y = x). (a, b) and (b, a) are image points.

Page 8: LESSON 7-1 EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS exponential function · LESSON 7-1 EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS An exponential function is a function represented by a constant base with a variable exponent

142

Note: When finding derivatives of inverse functions, do not use the same x-value for both f and 1f � . This hardly ever works. (It only works when the x- and y-values of the ordered pairs are the same.) Example 2: Let f and g be inverse functions such that:

( 1) 1f � (0) 2f (1) 5f 32

( 1)f c � (0) 2f c 12

From the given information, find each of the following if possible. Hint: Make a table or chart to organize your data. a. (1)gc b. (2)gc c. (3)gc d. (0)gc e. (5)gc If a function f has an inverse function 1f � , then f is one-to-one and must be either strictly increasing or strictly decreasing (strictly monotonic) on its entire domain. We can use f c to find out where f is increasing and where f is decreasing. Example 3: a. Use ( )f xc to show that 3( ) 6f x x x � is not one-to-one on its entire domain. b. Find the largest interval containing 0x for which f is one-to-one. c. Find the largest interval containing 2x � for which f has an inverse function.

LESSON 7-4 LOGARITHMIC FUNCTIONS

Since ( ) xf x e is one-to-one (continuous and increasing), it must have an inverse. However, if you switch x and y in the equation xy e to get yx e , you cannot isolate the new y by using algebraic methods. So, we must define

1( )f x� for the function ( ) xf x e . For ( ) xf x e , 1( )f x� is called the natural logarithmic function, and we write

1( ) lnf x x� (so that and lnyx e y x must be equivalent). In general, if 1( ) ( 0), then ( ) logx

af x a a f x x� ! (so that and logy

ax a y x must be equivalent).

Note: loge x is usually written as ln x and 10log x is usually written simply as log x . Graphs of Logarithmic Functions: If ( ) log and 1af x x a ! , then 1. The domain of ( ) is (0, )f x f . 2. The graph of ( )f x is continuous, The range of ( ) is ( , )f x �f f . increasing, concave downward, and one-to-one (has an inverse function). 3. The y-axis is a vertical asymptote 4. The x-intercept is (1, 0). downward:
