3.1 Functions
X is called the independent variable Y is called the dependent variable
Operations on Functions
Domain on Operations
Perform each mathematical operation and state the domain on each operation.
A function is continuous over an interval of its domain if its hand-drawn graph over that interval can be sketched without lifting the pencil from the paper. Discontinuous at x = -2 Continuous Function
5.1 Composite Functions

Find possible functions for f and g. Decomposition
5.2 Inverse Functions
If (x, y) is on the graph of a relation, then (y, x) is on the graph of its inverse. Inverse Relations
One to One Functions A function is one-to-one if every x has exactly one y-value and every y has exactly one x-value
Other Relations
If every horizontal line intersects the graph of a function f in at most one point, then f is one–to–one. Not One–to– One One–to– One Horizontal Line Test

Finding the inverse of a domain- restricted function If the inverse is not one-to-one, restrict the domain to make the inverse correct. Inverse Functions
