Chapter 1: Functions: 1.1 Composite Function

1. The document defines functions and composite functions. It provides examples of determining composite functions given two original functions f and g. 2. The document also defines inverse functions. It discusses how to determine if a function is one-to-one and how this relates to the existence of an inverse function. Methods for finding the inverse function algebraically or using properties are presented along with examples. 3. Key concepts covered include the definition of a function, composite functions written as f o g, determining if a function is one-to-one using analytical or graphical approaches, the definition of an inverse function, and methods for finding the inverse of a given function. Examples are provided to illustrate these concepts.

CHAPTER 1 : FUNCTIONS
1.1 COMPOSITE FUNCTION
DEFINITION FUNCTION: A function is defined as a relation in which every element in the
domain has a unique image ( one and only one ) element in the range .


Consider the graphs shown and state whether they represent functions.


. ..
.

EXAMPLE: A function f is defined as , find:





In other words, a function is one to one relation or many to one relation .

Composite functions f o g and g o f





This can be represented in an arrow diagram:




EXAMPLES:
1. If f(x) = 3x + 1 and g(x) = 2 - x,
find the following as a function of x
a)( f o g)(x)




DEFINITION: Consider two functions f and g. Composite functions of f and g is
written as fg or f o g and is defined as :(f o g)(x) = f [g(x)]
