 LEARNING OUTCOME

Students will be able to

FIS0444 MATHEMATICS 1 BY MS. CAROLYNA 3

 • DETERMINE THE POSITIONS OF HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL ASYMPTOTES
FOR RATIONAL FUNCTIONS AND USE THIS TO HELP IDENTIFY THEIR
GRAPHS,
• RECOGNIZE THE END BEHAVIORS OF RATIONAL FUNCTIONS,
FIS0444 MATHEMATICS 1 BY MS. CAROLYNA 4
 • IDENTIFY THE CORRECT GRAPH OF A RATIONAL FUNCTION,
• IDENTIFY A RATIONAL FUNCTION FROM ITS GRAPH.
• IDENTIFY EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS,
• WRITE EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS,
• EVALUATE EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS AT A GIVEN POINT,
• UNDERSTAND WHETHER AN EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION IS
INCREASING OR DECREASING.

 1.THE CONCEPT OF FUNCTION IS VERY IMPORTANT IN
MATHEMATICS.
2.IT DESCRIBES ANY SITUATION IN WHICH ONE QUANTITY
DEPENDS ON ANOTHER.
3. FOR EXAMPLE:

a. DISTANCE OF ANY OBJECTS TRAVEL (AT A CONSTANT SPEED) DEPEND ON THE

TIME IT TRAVELS.

b. COST OF MAILING A PACKAGE IS A FUNCTION OF WEIGHT.

c. TUMOR GROWTH RATE: VOLUME OF TUMOR AT A GIVEN TIME.

 d. CIVIL ENGINEERING: DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF FORCE ACTING ON THE BEAM
INCLUDING THE WEIGHT OF PEDESTRIANS, WEIGHT OF VEHICLES, AND THE
AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC ANTICIPATED ON THAT BRIDGE.

FIS0444 MATHEMATICS 1 BY MS. CAROLYNA 32

FIS0444 MATHEMATICS 1 BY MS. CAROLYNA 33
 INVERSE FUNCTIONS
THE FUNCTION 𝑓 IS ONE-TO-ONE AND THEREFORE THE
INVERSE MAPPING WHICH RELATES ELEMENTS FROM THE
RANGE OF 𝑓 BACK TO THE DOMAIN IS CALLED THE
INVERSE FUNCTION.

NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

a. THE INVERSE FUNCTION OF 𝑓 EXISTS ONLY IF 𝑓 IS ONE-
TO-ONE.
b. DOMAIN OF 𝑓−1 IS THE RANGE OF 𝑓.
FIS0444 MATHEMATICS 1 BY MS. CAROLYNA 34
 c. RANGE OF 𝑓−1 IS THE DOMAIN OF 𝑓.

METHOD OF FINDING THE INVERSE

FUNCTION
• IF 𝑓 IS A ONE-TO-ONE FUNCTION WHICH IS MAPS ELEMENTS 𝑥 IN THE
DOMAIN XONTO ELEMENTS 𝑦 IN THE CODOMAIN Y, THEN THE INVERSE
FUNCTION 𝑓−1 MAPS 𝑦 BACK TO 𝑥.
X Y
• THAT IS

𝑓:𝑥 → 𝑦 ⇒ 𝑓−1:𝑦 → 𝑥 OR 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑦 ⇒ 𝑓−1 𝑦 = 𝑥 𝑓

𝑥 𝑦
IN OTHER WORDS, 𝑓 𝑓−1 𝑥 = 𝑓−1 𝑓 𝑥 =𝑥 𝑓 −1

FIND THE INVERSE OF THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS
AND SKETCH THE GRAPHS OF EACH FUNCTION AND ITS
INVERSE a.𝑓 𝑥 =2𝑥+3
b.𝑓 𝑥 =𝑥3−1

c. 𝑓 𝑥 =−
