Q

How do you test if two functions (f(x) and g(x)) are inverses of each other?

A

Plug g(x) into f(x) and f(x) into g(x) and if you get x on both functions, they are inverses.

None
32
What kind of graph of a function has no roots?
A function not touching the x-axis
33
How can you tell how many roots a function has with this?: b^2 -4ac
< 0, no real roots > 0, 2 real roots = 0, 1 real root
34
< 0, no real roots > 0, 2 real roots = 0, 1 real root

f(x)=x^a where “a” is a real number
Power function
37
What makes a function not a polynomial?
Power is not an integer
38
When the power of a function is not an integer, it is not a
Polynomial
39

Means “such that”
“Pipe” “|” in domains
48
How makes a rational function?

51
With 0 at 0 and period every π
Sin graph
52
How is the cos graph plotted?
0 at 1 and period every π/2
53
0 at 1 and period every π/2

54
What is odd and what is even?: sin and cos
Sin is odd, cos is even
55
What is the domain of sinx/cosx and why?
{x€R|x≠π/2 + nπ} because every π/2, sin is 0. Adding π to π/2 gives another multiple of π/2.
