(A) Review of Inverse Functions Notation for inverse functions What does it mean to be a 1:1 function? What does it mean to be a 1:2 function? What does it mean to be a 1 to many function? mathematically, f(a) = b, then 11/17/2018 Precalculus - Santowski
(A) Review of Inverse Functions Q What is the significance of a function being 1:1 in the context of inverse functions? Q Is f(x) = x2 a 1:1 function? Q How did we “resolve” this issue with the function f(x) = x2? 11/17/2018 Precalculus - Santowski
(B) Restricted Domains (a) How would you restrict the domain of g(x) = sin(x) so that its inverse is a function? Use your calculator to justify your choice. (numerically & graphically) (b) How would you restrict the domain of g(x) = cos(x) so that its inverse is a function? Use your calculator to justify your choice.
