Find the domain and range of each function. 1. {(0, 5), (2, 3), (4, 1)} 3. (x) = 2x 12 2. {(1, 0), (0, 0), (1, 0)} 4. g(x) = x2

Evaluate each function for the given value of x.

5. Let (x) = 3x + 4. Find (2). 6. Let g(x) = 2x2 3x + 1. Find g(3).

Solutions 1. {(0, 5), (2, 3), (4, 1)} The domain is {0, 2, 4}. The range is {5, 3, 1}.

2. {(1, 0), (0, 0), (1, 0)} The domain is {1, 0, 1}. The range is {0}.
3. (x) = 2x 12 The domain is the set of all real numbers. The range is the set of all real numbers. 4. g(x) = x2 The domain is the set of all real numbers. The range is the set of all nonnegative real numbers. 5. (x) = 3x + 4; (2) = 3(2) + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10 6. g(x) = 2x2 3x + 1; g(3) = 2(3)2 3(3) + 1 = 2(9) + 9 + 1 = 18 + 10 = 28

RADICAL FUNCTIONS and RATIONAL EXPONENTS

Lesson 6: Function Operations (7.6)

Objective
Students will add, subtract, multiply, and divide functions; and find the composite of two functions

in order to solve problems involving

radical functions and rational exponents.

INTRODUCTORY & DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES:

1. Vocabulary Minute: Students should add these words and phrases and their definitions to their Math Matters 2 vocabulary notebooks : Composite function

Let (x) = 2x + 6 and g(x) = 5x 7. Find + g and g and their domains. ( + g)(x) = (x) + g(x) = (2x + 6) + (5x 7) ( g)(x) = (x) g(x) = (2x + 6) (5x 7)

= 3x 1

= 7x + 13

The domains of + g and g are the set of real numbers.

Let (x) = x2 + 1 and g(x) = x4 1. Find g and and g their domains.

( g)(x) = (x) g(x) = = (x 2 + 1)(x4 1) 1
( x ) (x ) = g ( x ) g

x2 + 1 = 4 x 1

x6

x4

x2

x2 + 1 = (x2 + 1)(x2 1)
= 1 x2 1

The domains of and g are the set of real numbers, so the domain of g is also the set of real numbers. The domain of
g

does not include 1 and 1 because g(1) and g(1) = 0.

Let (x) = x3 and g(x) = x2 + 7. Find (g )(2).

Method 1:
(g )(x) = g((x)) = g(x3) = x6 + 7 (g )(2) = (2)6 + 7 = 64 + 7 = 71

Method 2:
(g )(x) = g((x))

g((2)) = g(23)
= g(8)

= 82 + 7
= 71

A store offers a 20% discount on all items. You have a coupon worth $3. a. Use functions to model discounting an item by 20% and to model applying the coupon. Let x = the original price.

(x) = x 0.2x = 0.8x g (x ) = x 3

Cost with 20% discount. Cost with a coupon for $3.

b. Use a composition of your two functions to model how much you would pay for an item if the clerk applies the discount first and then the coupon. (g )(x) = g((x)) Applying the discount first. = g(0.8x) = 0.8x 3

(continued)

c. Use a composition of your two functions to model how much you would pay for an item if the clerk applies the coupon first and then the discount. ( g)(x) = (g(x)) Applying the coupon first. = (x 3) = 0.8(x 3) = 0.8x 2.4 d. How much more is any item if the clerk applies the discount first? ( g)(x) (g )(x) = (0.8x 2.4) (0.8x 3) = 0.6 Any item will cost $.60 more.
