Study Notes

Exercise 1.1

Find the value of f(x) for different inputs:
- f(-2) and f(0) for given functions
- f(x-1) and f(x^2+4) for given functions

- f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 1
- f(x) = sin(x)
- f(x) = cos(x)

Exercise 1.3

Express functions in terms of different variables:

- Area A of a circle as a function of its circumference C
- Volume V of a cube as a function of the area A of its base

Composition of Functions

Composition of functions: (f ∘ g)(x) = f(g(x))
Examples of composite functions:
- g(x) = 2x - 5
- g(x) = √(x^2 - 4)
- g(x) = √(x + 1)
- g(x) = |x - 3|

Exercise 1.4

Find the domain and range of functions:
- g(x) = 2x - 5
- g(x) = √(x^2 - 4)
- g(x) = √(x + 1)
- g(x) = |x - 3|

Composition of Functions (continued)

Find the composition of functions:
- (f ∘ g)(x) and (g ∘ f)(x) for different functions
- (f ∘ f)(x) and (g ∘ g)(x) for different functions

Inverse Functions

Find the inverse of functions:
- f(x) = -2x + 8
- f(x) = 3x^3 + 7
- f(x) = (-x + 9)^3
- f(x) = 2x + 1/x - 1, x > 1

Domain and Range of Inverse Functions

State the domain and range of inverse functions:
- f(x) = √(x + 2)
- f(x) = x - 1/(x - 4), x ≠ 4
- f(x) = 1/(x + 3), x ≠ -3
- f(x) = (x - 5)^2, x ≥ 5

Limit of a Function

Definition of a limit of a function:
- The concept of limit of a function is the basis of calculus
- The phrase "x approaches zero" means x is becoming smaller and smaller as n increases
- The symbol x → 0 is different from x = 0
