Chapter 12 Functions PDF

This document contains 5 problems involving functions and their inverses. Problem 1 defines functions f and g and asks about their composition and inverse. Problem 2 defines functions f and h and asks about their inverses and composition. Problem 3 defines functions f and g and asks about their composition and inverse, given restrictions on their domains. Problem 4 defines functions f and g and asks about graphing their inverse and composition. Problem 5 defines functions f and fg and asks to define the function g that would produce fg when composed with f, and describe transformations mapping the graph of f to the graph of fg.
