Functions Flashcards
How to a show a function is even
Show that f(x) = f(-x)
How to show a function is odd
Show that f(x) = -f(-x)
Domain
The range x values that can go into a function
Range
The range of y values that can be outputted from a function
Calculating complex ranges and domains
Cannot divide by 0 and cannot sqrt -n, use combination of these to develop domain/ range.
Often be a mix (triganometric? e.e. tan(x))
Domain restriction
In order to invert functions they must be strictly increasing. What we can do is restrict the values we input into our function such that our function is invertible. E.g. restricting tan(x) between -pi/2<x<pi/2
What will an even function look like?
Reflected about the y axis
What will an odd function look like?
Reflected about the x and y axis
What makes a function a function?
It is one to one(e.g. one distinct y value for every x value, e.g. a circle is not a function
Finding inverse functions
We can find these by switching the variables and then resetting.
Properties of inverse function
Inverse( original (x))=x
Interval notation
Infinities will be surrounded by (), if there is a value that is included it will be in a [] bracket, if there is a value excluded within the domain then join with union and have )U(
