Solutions to Odd-Numbered Exercises
1. Each output of a function must have exactly one output for the function to be one-to-one. If any horizontal line crosses the graph of a function more than once, that means that y -values repeat and the function is not one-to-one. If no horizontal line crosses the graph of the function more than once, then no y -values repeat and the function is one-to-one.
3. Yes. For example, f(x)=1x is its own inverse.
5. Given a function y=f(x), solve for x in terms of y. Interchange the x and y. Solve the new equation for y. The expression for y is the inverse, y=f−1(x).
7. f−1(x)=x−3
9. f−1(x)=2−x
11. f−1(x)=−2xx−1
13. domain of f(x):[−7,∞);f−1(x)=√x−7
15. domain of f(x):[0,∞);f−1(x)=√x+5
17. f(g(x))=x,g(f(x))=x
19. one-to-one
21. one-to-one
23. not one-to-one
25. 3
27. 2
29.
31. [2,10]
33. 6
35. −4
37. 0
39. 1
41.
x | 1 | 4 | 7 | 12 | 16 |
f−1(x) | 3 | 6 | 9 | 13 | 14 |
43. f−1(x)=(1+x)1/3
45. f−1(x)=59(x−32). Given the Fahrenheit temperature, x, this formula allows you to calculate the Celsius temperature.
47. t(d)=d50, t(180)=18050. The time for the car to travel 180 miles is 3.6 hours.
