 GENERALIZATIONS EXERCISE 1

 Domain- the set of all values that the variable x can take Find the domain and the range of the inverse of the following.
 Range- the set of all values that f(x) can take 1. f(x) = x + 3 3. f(x) = 4x 5. f(x) = 2x + 5
 The domain of a function is the range of its inverse, and the range 2. f(x) = x ─ 5 4. f(x) = 8x ─ 1
of a function is the domain of its inverse.
 If the function is linear, the domain and the range of its inverse is
the set of all real numbers. EXAMPLE 2
