08 Functions and Relations Cheat Sheet
=- Graph Sketching:
=p Implied domain is largest possible domain
f: x → y, f(x) = ax+b
Change of base Key features
= o Domain of graph
o Graph equation, function notation
=
o Turning points
o Arrows on ends of graphs
Inverse properties:
o Asymptotes
=x
Log (dom = ): Vertical
=x
(1,0) standard point
Exponential: Horizontal
Composite functions:
(0,1) standard point
f(g(x)): Ran g(x) MUST fit into Dom f(x)
o X and Y intercepts
Dom f(g(x)) = Dom g(x)
o Endpoints
o Must make sure that Ran g(x) fits into Trig
Dom f(x) before finding Dom g(x)
Root
To find Ran f(g(x)), sub Dom g(x) values in
Dom (f+g)(x) = Dom f(x) Dom g(x) Modulus (absolute) function:
Dom (fg)(x) = Dom f(x) Dom g(x) y= is an even function
USE CALCULATOR TO VISUALISE COMPOSITE y= : reflect everything that is below x-axis
FUNCTIONS, MUST WORK OUT DOMAIN, RANGE (must also consider vertical translation)
RESTRICTIONS BY HAND y = f( ): everything to right of y-axis is mirrored
to form a symmetrical graph
MUST CONSIDER GRAPH TRANSLATION
