functions and relations Flashcards
domain
horizontal distance
range
vertical distance
if there is no stated domain or range?
assume it is R
how to find domain and range of a coordinate set
list the x values for domain and the y values for range
function
a relation where no coordinates has the same x value
vertical lines test
determines if it is a function
must interest once
what is a restriction?
a function but with a smaller domain
one to one functions
every x value has a different y value
horizontal line test
one intersection and it is one-to-one
two intersections and it is many to one
how do you sketch a piecewise function?
sub in the value of the domain to find the y point and then sketch the graph normally keeping in the domain
odd function
-f(x) = f(-x)
even function
f(-x) + f(x)
formula for the addition of ordinates
(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
rule for composite functions
fog(x) = f(g(x))
domain of composite functions
the domain of the inner function
rules for inverse functions
must be one-to-one to have an inverse
domain and range of inverse functions
domain of inverse is the range of the function and the range of the inverse is the domain of the function
how to find the inverse?
swap x and y and solve for y
power functions
x^r where r is a rational number
strictly increasing and strictly decreasing
the turning point is included
odd positive integer for power functions
goes through the first and third quadrants with a stationary point at 0,0
- gets steeper as the number increases
even positive integer for power functions
quadratic shape
- gets steeper as the number gets bigger
odd negative integer
hyperbola shape
even negative integer
trunks shape
