7. Definition of a Function What is a function? A correspondence (a rule that matches the elements) between two sets D and R such that to each element of the first set, D, there corresponds exactly one and only one element of the second set, R. The first set is called the domain, and the set of corresponding elements in the second set is called the range. Domain: the set of all first entries (inputs) to be used in the rule (also called domain elements or independent variables). Range: the set of all second entries (outputs) that result from applying the rule (also called range elements or dependent variables). ( x, y ) Independent Variable, input Dependent Variable, output

15. How to Identify the domain & range from the equation (Some Examples appear below)

16. If a function is specified by an equation and the domain is not indicated, we agree to assume that the domain is the set of all real inputs that produce real outputs. This set of all outputs is the range. To Identify the Correct Domain: Begin with All the Reals and exclude any values of x that would result in either of these types of problems: Type 1: A denominator that equals zero. Type 2: A negative radicand under a radical with an even index (root). Excluding the x-values that would result in these problems is referred to as “restricting the domain”. Representation by Equation. Finding the Domain & Range.

17. Example or [The y-value can also be any real number, since y is always 4 more than x.] Note: For any Linear function, if no restriction is specifically stated on the domain or range, both the Domain and Range will always be.

Linear function (could be written: ax +by = c, where b is not zero) Domain? Range? or (Since x may be any real number.)

18. This expression is defined for all real values of x except where the denominator of the fraction is zero. This means that we begin with all real numbers and then restrict the domain by excluding x = 5/3. The output values for the expression will be any real number except 0. (Why?) Representation by Equation. Finding the Domain & Range. Click for each answer. Domain: Example Range: or Because any fraction with a constant as the numerator cannot equal zero.

19. Consider: Is there any value of x we cannot use? For example, what is y if x = 0? Not a real number! We must Restrict the domain. Ask: For what values of x is y defined? (Note that a square root is an even root. ) Answer: Using algebra, this is written: 3x –2 ≥ 0 and solving for x, we find, y is defined only when the radicand (3x-2) is equal to or greater than zero: Example Representation by Equation. Find the Domain & Range. Domain? Domain: Range? Range: If x =, then y=0, and when x has a value greater than, the radicand is a positive number, so the square root would also be a positive number. The range is y ≥ 0. Click for each answer. This is the domain:

20. Conclusion. In general, the domain of a function excludes values that would cause division by zero ( Type 1 ) when the variable appears in a denominator or that would result in an even root of a negative number ( Type 2 ) when the function contains an even root [even index] of an expression that contains the variable. To find the domain, If Type 1, 1. Set any denominator equal to zero; 2. Solve the resulting equation, and 3. Exclude all these solutions from the set of all real numbers. If Type 2, 1. For any radical with even index, set the radicand greater than or equal to zero; 2. Solve the resulting inequality, and 3. Use the solution set as the domain. Representation by Equation.

Practice 6 Polynomial functions have no denominators (so no division-by-zero problems) and no radicals (so no even-root-of-a-negative problems). For any polynomial function, the domain is "all real values of x”. For any polynomial of odd degree, the range is always. The Range of a polynomial of even degree depends on the sign of the leading coefficient: Positive Sign: ; Negative sign: Where “a” represents some real number value. Range of (A): In the graph of (A) when x is zero, y is 4, and otherwise y < 4. Range of (B): All real numbers will occur on the graph of (B) as y-values.

27. Function Notation and Evaluation.

28. Function Notation The notation f (x) will now be used instead of the variable y. This is read as “ f of x” and f(x) is equivalent to the y-coordinate of the function corresponding to a given x value. The equation can now be expressed as We say, “y is a function of x” to emphasize that y depends on x. We use the notation y = f (x), which is function notation. Value of the function (y or f(x)) Name of the function Independent variable Defining expression (formula) Start on click.

30. Function Evaluation Consider the function It tells you the “instructions” you are to follow. What does f (-3) mean? Replace x with the value -3 and evaluate the expression: The notation means: “ when x = -3, the value of f(x) is 11” So the point (-3,11) is on the graph of function f. Start on click. Example

31. Evaluating a function Given f(x) = x 2 + 2x – 1, find f(2), f(–3), f(k). Each location where you see an "x” in the function f(x) is just an open box, waiting for something to be put into it. f(2) = 7 since f(2) = (2) 2 +2(2) – 1 = 7 f(–3) = 2 since f(–3) = (–3) 2 +2(–3) – 1 = 2 f(k) = k 2 + 2k – 1 Functions can be defined using a letter different from x. The function below is exactly the same function as f(x) = x 2 + 2x – 1. However, below it is defined using “m”. f(m) = (m) 2 + 2(m) – 1 = m 2 + 2 m – 1 You would still find f(2) or f(-3) using the same steps: in f(m) replace “m” with “2” the first time and the second time replace the “m” with “-3”, just as was done above. This is how to work with function notation. Click for the answers. Example

40. Piecewise-Defined Function.

41. Evaluate Piecewise-Defined Function Evaluate f(0), f(2), f(3) for the function Notice that this function is defined by different rules I and II for different parts of its domain. A piecewise-defined function is a function whose definition involves more than one formula (has two or more “pieces”). f(0)=? Since 0 < 2, use f(0) = 2 –2(0) = 2, f(2)=? Since 2 ≥ 2, use f(2) = (2) – 2 = 0, f(3)= ? Since 3 ≥ 2, use f(3) = (3) – 2 = 1. Click for each evaluation step. (I) (II) (I) Example Graphing such functions involves graphing each rule over the appropriate portion of the domain on the same coordinate plane.

42. Since the function has two pieces (rules), we use two T-charts. The break between the two “pieces" of this function (the point at which the function changes rules) is at x = 2, so that is where T-charts will break. The function is graphed in two pieces: the first piece includes only x-values before x = 2, and the second piece has domain from x = 2 to positive infinity. Why is the last point in T-chart I in parentheses? Actually, x = 2 is not a domain value for T-chart I, but it is helpful to know the y-value that the piece "approaches" close to this endpoint of its domain (as x gets closer to 2).

Answer the questions. There are two pieces. It’s not on the graph. The rule for the function changes. (This graph has a break or jump at x=1.) This point is not on the graph. 1 is not in the domain for this piece of the graph. The point (1, 2) is on this piece of the graph. 1 is included in the domain for this piece of the graph

78. Inverse Functions For a function  to have an inverse,  must be a one-to-one function. A function is said to be one-to-one if each range value corresponds to exactly one domain value. By the definition of inverse function, the domain of  is the range of  -1, and the range of  is the domain of  -1 Note: Any function that is either increasing or decreasing on its entire domain has an inverse function.

79. Decide if the Given Functions are Inverses. Example 1) Apply the Horizontal Line Test to graphs to see if the functions are one-to-one. 2) Check to see if both statements are true: a) (  ◦ g)(x) = x and b) (g ◦  )(x) = x. 1) Both functions are one-to-one. (Why? - give your reason) 2) a) (  ◦ g)(x) = f(g(x)) Prove on your own. Check the proof. b) (g ◦  )(x) = Conclusion: Functions f and g are inverse functions. (g = f -1 ) Steps Click for steps.

80. 1. If  is one-to-one, then  -1 exists. ( For graphs use the Horizontal Line Test) 2. The domain of  is the range of  -1, and the range of  is the domain of  -1. 3. If the point (a, b) lies on the graph of , then (b, a) lies on the graph of  -1, so the graphs of  and  -1 are reflections of each other across the line y = x. 4. To find the equation for  -1, 1) replace  (x) with y; 2) interchange x and y; 3) solve for y; 4) replace y with  -1. This is your candidate for the inverse function. 5) prove that (  º  -1 )(x)=x and (  -1 º  )(x)=x Important Facts About Inverses Click once) 6) Celebrate!

81. FINDING THE INVERSE OF A FUNCTION WITH A RESTRICTED DOMAIN Example First, notice that the domain of  is restricted to the interval [– 5,  ). Function  is one-to-one because it is increasing on its entire domain and, thus, has an inverse function. Apply steps. 1) replace  ( x ) with y ; 2) interchange x and y; 3) solve for y; 4) replace y with  -1 Click for each step. Continued on next slide.

82. Example (cont.) However, we cannot define  -1 as x 2 – 5. FINDING THE INVERSE OF A FUNCTION WITH A RESTRICTED DOMAIN As a check, graphs of  and  -1 are helpful. 5) Prove that (  º  -1 )(x)=x and (  -1 º  )(x)=x on your own. [If the result is “x” both times, it proves that the two functions are inverses functions.] The domain of  is [– 5,  ), and range is [0,  ). The domain of  -1 must match the range of , so we define the domain of  -1 as shown in red here: The domain of  -1, [0,  ), is the range of . The line y = x is included on the graphs to show that the graphs are mirror images with respect to this line. Click to continue.

83. Finding the Inverse of a Function Practice 14 Given decide whether the equation defines a one-to-one function. If so, find the equation of the inverse. Click for the answer. The given equation does not define a one-to-one function. The given function does not have an inverse on its current domain. However, if the domain were restricted so that the function would then be a one-to-one function, the function with restricted domain would then have an inverse. If the domain were restricted to the interval, then the function would have an inverse on this restricted domain. The equation of the inverse function would be
