Inverse and Composite Functions

This document discusses inverse and composite functions. It provides examples of how to find the inverse of functions by reversing the operations, and how to find composite functions by substituting one function into another. It also gives practice problems for students to find inverse functions, composite functions, and to solve equations involving composite functions.

x2 + 8x + 12 > 0 the formula. x2 + 8x + 12 > 0 the formula.
p= p=

3. f(x) is x2 + 2x 4. f(x) is x2 + 2x 3. f(x) is x2 + 2x 4. f(x) is x2 + 2x


g(x) = 5x - 3 g(x) = 5x - 3 g(x) = 5x - 3 g(x) = 5x - 3
Find gf(x) Find g-1(x) Find gf(x) Find g-1(x)

x2 + y2 = 25 x2 + y2 = 25
y - 2x = 5 y - 2x = 5
In this case it means:
Multiply by 3
Then add 2f(x)
= 3x + 2
It is often
Means writtenofasx
function
an equation
Write these functions as function machines:
eg) f(x) =
Multiply by 2 and subtract 4 then divide by 3
1) f(x) = 7x + 8
Multiply by 7 then add 8
2) f(x) = + 6
Multiply by 5, divide by 3 then add 6
3) f(x) = -2x + 2
4) f(x) = Multiply by -2 then add 2

5) f(x) = Multiply by 8, minus 4 then divide by 4

Subtract 9 then divide by 3


Use these functions to find these values:
eg) f(x) =
f(8)
(8 x 2 – 4) ÷ 3 = 4
1) f(x) = 7x + 8
f(2) 22
2) f(x) = + 6
3) f(x) = -2x + 2 f(3)
11

4) f(x) = f(-2) 6

5) f(x) =
f(4) 7

𝟏
f(8) −
𝟑
For inverse functions we do the opposite, in reverse
eg) f(x) =

X2 -4 ÷3

÷2 +4 X3

f(x)-1 = 3x + 4
2
Find f(x)-1:
eg) f(x) =
x4 > -2 > ÷5
f(x)-1 =
÷4 < +2 < x5
1) f(x) = 7x + 8
f(x)-1 =
2) f(x) = + 6
f(x)-1 =
3) f(x) = -2x + 2
f(x)-1 =
4) f(x) =
f(x)-1 =
For composite functions we substitute the right
most function into the left
eg) f(x) =
g(x) =
Find fg(x)
g > f as right goes into left
f(x) =
g(x) =
fg(x) = 2(
fg(x)
fg(x)= =2 2
Find the composite functions:

1) f(x) = 7x + 8 fg(x) =
Find fg(x)
• g(x) = + 2

2) h(x) = + 6 fg(x) =
Find fh(x)
• f(x) = + 6

3) f(x) = 2x - 1 fg(x) =
Find fg(x)
• g(x) = 2

4) g(x) = Find fg(x) fg(x) =


• f(x) =
Challenge
f(x) = 2x + 14
h(x) = + 6
Solve:
f(x) = h(x)
