Transformations, composites and inverses


Throughout this section, we will use notations like 𝑓𝑔 to denote the function “perform 𝑔 then perform
𝑓”, or in other words, 𝑓𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑔(𝑥)).

1. Consider the following table of values for 𝑓(𝑥), 𝑔(𝑥) and ℎ(𝑥).

-3 -1 0 1 2
𝑓(𝑥) 2 0 4 -1 -3
𝑔(𝑥) -3 0 -1 4 2
ℎ(𝑥) 2 4 0 -3 -1

(a) Write down the value of 𝑓 −1 (−3).

(b) Find ℎ𝑔−1 𝑔𝑓𝑓 −1 (−3).

2. Consider the graph of 𝑓(𝑥) as followed.


𝐴(0, 3) and 𝐵(2, −1).

On separate sets of axes, sketch the graph of


(a) 𝑦 = 𝑓(−𝑥) + 1,
(b) 𝑦 = −𝑓(𝑥) − 1,

clearly write down the coordinates of the translated


points 𝐴 and 𝐵.

3. [Oxford MAT 2012]


Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 1 and 𝑔(𝑥) = 2𝑥.

If 𝑖 ≥ 0 is an integer we will write 𝑓 𝑖 to denote the function which performs 𝑓 𝑖 times.


𝑓 𝑖 (𝑥) = 𝑓𝑓 … 𝑓(𝑥) [𝑖 times] = 𝑥 + 𝑖.

(a) Show that 𝑓 2 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑔𝑓(𝑥).

(b) Note that 𝑔𝑓 2 𝑔(𝑥) = 4𝑥 + 4.


Find all the other ways of combining 𝑓 and 𝑔 that result in the function 4𝑥 + 4.
