Function Operations, Part 2

Function Composition
Essential Question
What happens if the output of one function becomes
the input of another?
Lesson Objectives
• Combine functions by composition: algebraically,
graphically, numerically, and verbally.
• Algebraically prove that given functions are or are not
inverses.
Spotlight Questioning
• Everyone’s voice is valued.
• You will be given a question and asked
to work with your partner to answer
the question.
• Everyone needs to be able to answer
the question on the following slide
because some of you will be called upon.
• Get ready to be in the “spotlight!”
Coupon Conundrum
You visit your favorite store, and you have two coupons:

• 20% off of your next purchase


• $10 off of your next purchase

• If you spend $100, which one do you think that they will
apply first at the register? Explain your thinking.
Coupon Conundrum
Write two functions, one for each coupon.

• f(x): 20% off of your next purchase


• g(x): $10 off of your next purchase
Exploring Function Notation
• Work with a partner and use f (x) = x2 – 5 to answer each
of the questions on your handout.
• Answer each question in the order it was provided.

Find f  g  x . What does it mean?

• f  x   0.8 x
• g  x   x  10

• f  g  x   0.8  g  x   0.8  x  10   0.8 x  8


Guided Notes
Let’s complete the Guided Notes together.
Verifying Inverses
• f  x  and g  x  are inverse functions if and only if
 f  g  x   x and  g  f  x   x.
• Using this information, work with a partner to determine
if each pair of functions are inverses on your Applying
Function Composition handout (questions 1–3).

Extending Your Knowledge
• Work with your partner to complete
the second portion of your Applying
Function Composition handout.
• Use the given information about
f (x), g(x), h(x), and k(x) to answer
questions 4–7.
• Be ready to be in the “spotlight!”
Extending Your Knowledge
Exit Ticket
• Work independently to perform the
indicated operations on your handout.
• Indicate any domain restrictions of the new function.
