Composite and inverse functions Flashcards
1
Q
Composite functions
A
Write out equations in form f(g(x)) for example
Then sub g(x) in.
Then in the the f(x) function, find every x and substitute g(x) in.
2
Q
Inverse functions
Finding formula of inverse function
A
Change h(x) (example) to y. Then change subject of formula from y to x. Then rewrite again keeping formula the same but swapping x for y and vice versa. Finally swap the y = back to h^-1(x) =
3
Q
Showing functions are inverse of one another
A
Do composite functions with the two and if it simplifies to x on its own then they are inverse
4
Q

A
Swap y and x coordinates - (4,6) —> (6,4)
