SL Math: Unit 4 – Pre-Calculus (Functions Review)

HW: Review from Chapter 2

Review 2A –p.77
Lesson 4.4: Domain, Range, Function Notation, Inverse & Composite Review 2B –p.78
Students are expected to complete this self-directed section of the textbook (2D8/3U8 Review) *skip questions about Horizontal
Asymptotes at this time
Review 2C –p. 80
Relation vs. Function: See Revision Village
• Relation: any set of points on the Cartesian plane. It can be expressed as:
a set of ordered pairs, a table, a mapping or an equation involving variable x and y, or simply a graph.
• Function: a special type of relations in which for every one input x, there is only one y as output.
• Test for Functions - Vertical Line Test - works for graphical examples

Ex1. Determine which mapping relationship is a function:

! no !
yes

Ex2. Indicate which graphs are functions:

~ ~ ~

- --

Ex3. Properly place “functions” and “relations” in the graphic:

_____________
relation

________
function

Interval Notation:
Every real number can be associated with a single point on the real number line.
An interval is a set that consists of all real number between a given pair of numbers.
• An open interval (EXCLUSIVE or “round brackets”) does not include endpoints.
• A closed interval (INCLUSIVE or “square brackets”) includes the endpoints

Inverse Functions:
• The concept of the inverse of a function is to “undo” what has been done to the function on x.
x+3
• The function f ( x) = 5 x − 3 can be “un-done” by its inverse function f −1 ( x ) =
5
• Note: All functions do not have inverse functions, they can have inverse relations
• f (x) and f −1 ( x) must be reflections in the line y = x

Ex7. What is the relationship between ( f  f −1 )( x) and ( f −1  f )( x) ? Test with a function.

f' is a function and " is it's inverse form

f(f"(x)) = X + for all "x" in the range of fl

Composite Functions:
Given 2 functions f (x) and g (x) , the composition of f and g is: f  g ( x) = f [ g ( x)] and g  f ( x) = g[ f ( x)]
x+2
Ex12: Given f : x  : Note: f  g ( x)  g  f ( x)

−1 −1 −1 Composition is NOT
(i) find f ( x) (ii) find f  f ( x) (iii) find f  f ( x)
COMMUTATIVE.
Order MATTERS!
Commutative property is
when order does not alter
the final answer
i.e. 2 + 3 = 3 + 2
5 6 = 6 5

Sign Diagrams:
• similar to Polynomial Inequalities and Rational Inequalities

i.e. “what intervals is my quadratic above x-axis” “what intervals is my reciprocal below x-axis” *remember to avoid asymptotes!!

• determine when your function greater than zero (above x-axis) and less than zero (below x-axis)
• use a number line and illustrate your answer (aka “sign diagram)
• *must find your critical values first (to place on your number line) by solving for the x-intercepts and asymptotes

Ex15. I) State the domain and range for the following function in interval notation: y = 2x − 5
P2 ii) Determine Intercepts. x − 2 x 2 − 35 x
3

iii) Asymptotes.
iv) Sign of the function above and below the x-axis in interval notation.
