1. Inverse functions: Problem type 1
The one-to-one functions g and h are defined as follows.
=g−4, 8, −2, 4, −1, 9, −9, 4
=hx−3x4
Find the following.
g−19
=
h−1x
=
∘h−1h−1
=
You answered:
g−19
=
0
h−1x
=
1
∘h−1h−1
=
−1
Your answer is incorrect.
The correct answer is:
g−19
=
−1
h−1x
=
+x43
∘h−1h−1
=
−1
2. Domain and range from ordered pairs
Suppose that the relation
H
is defined as follows.
=H9, 0, −1, 8, 9, 4, −7, 1
Give the domain and range of
H
.
Write your answers using set notation.
You answered correctly: domain = −9,1,9,7
range
= −0,8,4,1
3. Sum, difference, and product of two functions
Suppose that the functions g and h are defined for all real numbers x as follows.
=gx+x6
=hx4x2
Write the expressions for
·ghx
and
−ghx
and evaluate
+gh−1
.
·ghx
−ghx
+gh−1
You answered:
=·ghx+4x324x2
=−ghx+4x2+x6
=+gh−19
Your answer is incorrect.
−ghx
: Your answer is incorrect.
The correct answer is:
=·ghx+4x324x2
=−ghx+−4x2+x6
=+gh−19
