question 1: f(x) = x+3
> function:
f(x) = x+3
table of values:
x 0 1 2 3 4 5
y 3 4 5 6 7 8

let x = 0 to 5
y = x + 3; substitute x value to find y pair

domain: {x|x ∈ ℝ}
range: {y|y ∈ ℝ}
domain and range of a linear function are all real numbers.
question 1: f(x) = x+3
graph:
find x-intercept and y-intercept;
x-int: y = 0
y-int: x = 0

x-intercept:
0 = x+3
x = -3
y-intercept:
y = 0+3
y=3
question 1: f(x) = x+3 (inverse)
> inverse function:
f(x) = x+3; replace x with y and y with x
y = x+3  x = y+3  y = x-3
f⁻¹(x) = x-3
table of values:
x 3 4 5 6 7 8
y 0 1 2 3 4 5

reverse the table for inverse function

domain: {x|x ∈ ℝ}
range: {y|y ∈ ℝ}
domain and range of an inverse function is the reverse of the normal function
question 1: f(x) = x+3 (inverse)
graph: [ f⁻¹(x) = x-3 ]
find x-intercept and y-intercept;
x-int: y = 0
y-int: x = 0

x-intercept:
0 = x-3
x=3
y-intercept:
y = 0-3
y = -3

question 3: f(x) =
𝑥+1
> function:
f(x)=(2𝑥−1)/(𝑥+1)
table of values:
x 0 1 2 3 4 5
y -1 1/2 1 5/4 7/5 3/2
just like in question 1, substitute x value to find y pair

domain: {x|x ∈ ℝ x≠-1}; this is the range of the inverse function

range: {x|x ∈ ℝ x≠2}; find by finding domain of inverse function, domain of inverse = range of
this function
domain excludes what makes the function undefined;
x + 1 = 0 [denominator = 0; undefined] --> x = -1

question 3: f(x) = (inverse)
𝑥+1
> inverse function: domain:
f(x)=(2𝑥−1)/(𝑥+1); replace x with y, and y with x
because it’s a rational function, the domain
y = (2x-1)/(x+1)
excludes what makes it undefined
x = (2y-1)/(y+1)
*> cross multiplication denominator: -x+2
x(y+1) = (2y-1) -x + 2 = 0
*> distribute and remove parenthesis -x = -2
xy + x = 2y – 1
*> isolate all y to one side
(-x = -2) -1
x + 1 = 2y – xy x=2
*> extract y on left side [common factor] domain: {x|x ∈ ℝ x≠2}; this is the range of
x+1 = (2-x) y the normal function
*divide both sides with (2-x) to isolate y

table of values:
x 0 1 3 4 5 6
y 1/2 2 -4 -5/2 -2 -7/4
substitute the x in the function. there is no “2” because the domain excludes 2.
