Mathematics 116Chapter 5 Exponential And Logarithmic Functions John Quincy Adams “Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.” Mathematics 116 Exponential Functions and Their Graphs Def: Relation A relation is a set of ordered pairs. Designated by: Listing Graphs Tables Algebraic equation Picture Sentence Def: Function A function is a set of ordered pairs in which no two different ordered pairs have the same first component. Vertical line test – used to determine whether a graph represents a function. Defs: domain and range Domain: The set of first components of a relation. Range: The set of second components of a relation Examples of Relations: Objectives Determine the domain, range of relations. Determine if relation is a function. Mathematics 116 Inverse Functions Objectives: Determine the inverse of a function whose ordered pairs are listed. Determine if a function is one to one. Inverse Function g is the inverse of f if the domains and ranges are interchanged. f = {(1,2),(3,4), (5,6)} g= {(2,1), (4,3),(6,5)} Inverse of a function Inverse of function One-to-One Function A function f is one-to one if for and and b in its domain, f(a) = f(b) implies a = b. Other – each component of the range is unique. One-to-One function Def: A function is a one-to-one function if no two different ordered pairs have the same second coordinate. Horizontal Line TestA test for one-to one If a horizontal line intersects the graph of the function in more than one point, the function is not one-to one Existence of an Inverse Function A function f has an inverse function if and only if f is one to one. Find an Inverse Function 1. Determine if f has an inverse function using horizontal line test. 2. Replace f(x) with y 3. Interchange x and y 4. Solve for y 5. Replace y with Definition of Inverse Function Let f and g be two functions such that f(g(x))=x for every x in the domain of g and g(f(x))=x for every
