Term
One to One Function
Definition
Every value in the range is matched to only one value in x.
Term
Non-One to One Function
Definition
Not every value in the range is matched to only one value in x.
Term
In a function x is...
Definition
The Domain
Term
In a function y is...
Definition
The Range
Term
Define Horizontal Line Test
Definition
a method that can be used to determine if a function is a one-to-one function. This means that, for every y-value in the function, there is only one unique x-value
Term
How Does a Graph Pass The Horizontal Line Test?
Definition
Each Horizontal line on the graph only passes through a single point.
Term
What does
g(x)=x^2-1
Look Like?
Definition
A parabola that is shifted down one
Term
Would
g(x)=x^2-1
Pass the Horizontal Line Test?
Definition
No
Term
Define Asymptote
Definition
line or curve that approaches a given curve arbitrarily closely
Term
Define Inverse Function
Definition
f^-1, f^-1(y) =x if and only if y=f(x)
Term
If
f(3)=5
is a one to one function
Then the Inverse is...
Definition
f(5)=3
Term
What are the two properties of inverse functions?
Definition
(fof^-1)(x)=f(f^-1(x))=x
(f^-1of)(x)=f^-1(f(x))=x
Term
How do you see if f(x) and g(x) are inverse?
Definition
1.) Solve (fog)(x)
2.) Solve (gof)(x)
3.) If (fog)(x) and (gof)(x) equal then they are inverses.
4.) If (fog)(x) and (gof)(x) do not equal then they are not inverses of eachother.
Term
Are f(x)=2x+3 and g(x)=(x-3)/2 inverses, and if so why?
Definition
Yes, because (fog)(x) and (gof)(x) are equal.
Term
The graph of the function (f) and the graph of (f^-1) are symmetric with respect to the line....
Definition
y=x
Term
Define Inverse Symmetry
Definition
The graph of the function (f) and the graph of (f^-1) are symmetric with respect to the line y=x
Term
What are the four steps to finding the Inverse Algebraically?
Definition
1.) Replace f(x) by y in the equation for f(x)
2.) Switch x and y
3.) Solve Equation in step 2 for y
4.) Replace y with f^-1(x)
Term
What is the first step to finding the Inverse Algebraically?
Definition
Replace f(x) by y in the equation for f(x)
Term
What is the second step to finding the Inverse Algebraically?
Definition
Switch x and y
Term
What is the third step to finding the Inverse Algebraically?
Definition
Solve Equation in step 2 for y
Term
What is the fourth step to finding the Inverse Algebraically?
Definition
Replace y with f^-1(x)
Term
The domain of your inverse is the ____ of the original function
Definition
range
Term
If something has to be greater than or equal to zero then....
Definition
It cannot be negative
Term
Are even functions ever one to one?
Definition
No, they are not
Term
f^-1 Does Not Equal...
Definition
1/f
Term
How do You Find the Domain?
Definition
Search for restrictions in the function like radicals or variables in the denominator.

Other limitations include how a graph appears.
Term
f(f^-1(x))=
Definition
x
