Study Notes

Composite Functions and Evaluation

  • Given f(x) = -x² + 3x + 5 and g(x) = -2/(1-x), evaluate f(g(-3)) by first finding g(-3) and then substituting that value into f(x).
  • To find the expression for (g ◦ f)(x), substitute f(x) into g(x).
  • Determine the domain of (g ◦ f)(x) by considering the restrictions on the domain of f(x) and the domain of the composite function.

Inverse Functions

  • To find the inverse function of f(x) = 7x - 8, swap x and y and solve for y.
  • To determine if two functions f(x) = 2/(x-1) and g(x) = (x+2)/x are inverses, verify if f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x.

Graph Interpretation

  • Evaluate (g ◦ f)(-1) using the provided graph by finding f(-1) from the graph then using the result as input for g(x).
  • Determine f⁻¹(3) from the graph by finding the x-value for which f(x) = 3.

Logarithmic Properties: Expansion

  • Expand log(x²/(yz³)) using logarithm properties, resulting in 2log(x) - log(y) - 3log(z).

Logarithmic Properties: Condensation

  • Combine 3ln(x) - 2ln(z) + ln(y) into a single logarithm: ln((x³y)/z²).

Logarithmic Functions: Analysis

  • For a logarithmic function g(x) = log(2 - 3x), find the y-intercept by setting x=0 and solving for g(0).
  • The domain of g(x) = log(2 - 3x) is found by setting 2 - 3x > 0 and solving for x.
  • Find the inverse function g⁻¹(x) by swapping x and y in the equation y = log(2 - 3x) and solving for y.
  • Determine the y-intercept of g⁻¹(x) by setting x = 0 in the inverse function and solving for y.
  • Determine the domain of g⁻¹(x) by analyzing any restrictions on the inverse function.

Exponential Equations: Solving

  • To solve an exponential equation like 20e^(2x) = 300, isolate the exponential term and take the natural logarithm of both sides.
  • To solve 7log₅(1 - 3x) = 25, isolate the logarithm and rewrite the equation in exponential form.
