One-To-One Functions Inverses: X 3x F (X) + (9x

This document introduces different types of functions. It explains that some functions satisfy polynomial equations and are called algebraic functions, while others do not satisfy polynomial equations and are called transcendental functions. Examples of transcendental functions mentioned are trigonometric functions, the logarithm function, and the exponential function. The document then transitions to discussing the properties of one-to-one functions and inverse functions.

TRANSACTION FUNCTION

Some real numbers satisfy polynomial equations with integer coefficients: satisfies the equation 5x 3 = 0; 2 satisfies the equation x2 2 = 0. Such numbers are called algebraic. There are, however, numbers that are not algebraic, among them . Such numbers are called transcendental. Some functions satisfy polynomial equations with polynomial coefficients: x 3x2 satisfies the equation [ f (x)]2 + 6x2 f (x) + (9x4 4x) = 0. Such functions are called algebraic. There are, however, functions that are not algebraic. Such functions are called transcendental. You are already familiar with some transcendental functionsthe trigonometric functions. In this chapter we introduce other transcendental functions: the logarithm function, the exponential function, and the trigonometric inverses. But first, a little more on functions in general.

7.1 ONE-TO-ONE FUNCTIONS; INVERSES


One-to-One Functions A function can take on the same value at different points of its domain. Constant functions, for example, take on the same value at all points of their domains. The quadratic function f (x) = x2 takes on the same value at c as it does at c; so does the
absolute-value function g(x) = |x|. The function f (x) = 1 + (x 3)(x 5) takes on the same value at x = 5 as it does at x = 3: f(
