Study Notes
Inverse Functions
- An inverse function is a function that reverses the effect of another function.
- If f is a function, its inverse is denoted by f-1.
- For a function and its inverse, f(f-1(x)) = x and f-1(f(x)) = x.
- To find the inverse of a function, switch the x and y variables and solve for y.
Laws of Exponents
- Multiplication Rule: ax * ay = ax + y
- Division Rule: ax / ay = ax - y
- Power of a Power Rule: (ax)y = axy
- Power of a Product Rule: (ab)x = ax * bx
- Power of a Fraction Rule: (a/b)x = ax / bx
- Zero Exponent: a0 = 1
- Negative Exponent: a-x = 1 / ax
- Fractional Exponent: ax/y = √yax
Exponential Functions
- An exponential function is a function of the form f(x) = bx where b > 0 and b ≠ 1.
- To evaluate an exponential function, substitute the value of the variable into the function.
Exponential Equations
- Exponential equations are equations where the exponent is a variable.
- To solve an exponential equation, express both sides of the equation as powers with the same base, then solve the resulting equation.
Application of Exponential Functions
-
Exponential Growth: Describes a process where a quantity increases at an ever-increasing rate over time.
-
Exponential Decay: Describes a process where a quantity decreases at a consistent percentage rate over time.
-
Examples of Exponential Growth:
- A colony of bacteria in a human body
- The population of the Philippines
- Compound Interest
-
Examples of Exponential Decay:
- The concentration of medicine in a patient’s body over time
- The value of gadgets over time
- The remains of a radioactive element
Logarithmic Functions
- A logarithmic function is a function of the form y = logb x where b > 0, b ≠ 1 and x > 0.
- y = logb x is equivalent to x = by.
Laws of Logarithms
- Multiplication Rule: logb (MN) = logb M + logb N
- Division Rule: logb (M/N) = logb M - logb N
- Power Rule: logb (MN) = N logb M
