Lecture 2 Functions

This document discusses combinations of functions, composite functions, exponential functions, inverse functions, logarithmic functions, and inverse trigonometric functions. It provides examples of combining functions using sums, differences, products, and quotients. It also demonstrates finding the composite of two functions f and g, denoted f ∘ g(x). Rules for exponents, logarithms, and inverse trigonometric functions are outlined. Examples are included to illustrate evaluating composite functions and using rules of exponents and logarithms to simplify expressions.

(C) COMPOSITE FUNCTIONS :
Given two functions f and g , the composite function 𝒇 ∘ 𝒈 (read f circle g ) is defined by
(𝒇 ∘ 𝒈) 𝒙 = 𝒇(𝒈 𝒙 )
such that 𝑹 𝒈 ⋂𝑫 𝒇 ≠ ∅ (∅ is null or empty set).

Example Find 𝒇 ∘ 𝒈 𝒙 , (𝒈 ∘ 𝒇)(𝒙) for the following functions
𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟒, 𝒈 𝒙 = 𝟑𝒙 − 𝟐.

Solution 𝒇 ∘ 𝒈 𝒙 = 𝒇 𝒈 𝒙 = 𝒇 𝟑𝒙 − 𝟐 = 𝟑𝒙 − 𝟐 𝟐 − 𝟒
= 𝟗𝒙𝟐 −𝟏𝟐𝒙 + 𝟒 − 𝟒 = 𝟗𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟐𝒙.

𝒈 ∘ 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒈 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒈 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟒 = 𝟑(𝒙𝟐 −𝟒) − 𝟐
= 𝟑𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟐 − 𝟐 = 𝟑𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟒.

∴ 𝒇 ∘ 𝒈 𝒙 = 𝟗𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟐𝒙 ≠ 𝒈 ∘ 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝟑𝒙𝟐 − 𝟏𝟒.

∴ 𝒇∘𝒈 𝒙 ≠ 𝒈∘𝒇 𝒙 .
Example Find 𝒇 ∘ 𝒈 𝒙 , (𝒈 ∘ 𝒇)(𝒙) for the following functions
𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒙, 𝒈 𝒙 = 𝒙𝟑
Solution 𝒇∘𝒈 𝒙 =𝒇 𝒈 𝒙 = 𝒇 𝒙𝟑 = 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒙𝟑 ,

∴ 𝒇 ∘ 𝒈 𝒙 = 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒙𝟑 .

𝒈∘𝒇 𝒙 =𝒈 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒈 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒙 = 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝟑 𝒙,

∴ 𝒈 ∘ 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝟑 𝒙.

∴ 𝒇 ∘ 𝒈 𝒙 = 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒙𝟑 ≠ 𝒈 ∘ 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝟑 𝒙,

∴ 𝒇∘𝒈 𝒙 ≠ 𝒈∘𝒇 𝒙 .
