Function Notations f :x x+2 (means the function f maps x onto x + 2 f ( x) = x + 2 is read as f of x is x + 2 x is the object , f (x) is the image

Absolute Valued Functions Eg: f (x) = x 2 1) Find the possible values of x if f(x) = 3 Solution x-2 =3 , x=5 - (x - 2) = 3 , x = -1 2) Sketch the Graph of f (x) = x 2 for the domain -1 x 6 Solution: x = -1 , f(x) = 3 x = 5 , f(x) = 3 f(x) = x-3 = 0, x = 3 f (x ) 3 x -1 0 3 3) Corresponding Range: 0 f(x) 3 6

How to determine composite function: Example : Given f : x x +1 g : x 2x Determine i.) f g ii ) f 2 Solutions; i.) fg (x) = f (g (x) (ii) f 2 (x) = f f (x) = f ( 2x ) = f (x +1) = 2x + 1 = (x +1) +1 = x + 2 Eg. Given f : x 2x and g f: x 3x - 1, find g. Eg. Given f : x 2x and Solution: g (f(x) = 3 x -1 f g: x x + 3, find g. g( 2x) = 3x - 1 Solution: f (g(x) ) = x + 3 y 2 g(x) = x + 3 , Lets 2x = y, x= 2 x+3 g ( x) = y 3x 2 g(y) = 3( ) -1,g(x) = 1 2 2
