Inverse Functions

Today we went over your assignment from page 99, dealing with inverse functions. We got through most of the assignment but will begin tomorrow by completing problem #24. You should rework this problem before class. Remember that there are two methods for solving these problems, and in situations like #23 and #24 you should use the gof and fog methods as discussed in class. If you were not in class please refer to the book for examples (pg. 93-99).
I have decided that the test will be moved to WEDNESDAY, October 10th. Please begin studying now because we will move on to new material starting Monday!

Coming up:
- TEST: Wed. October 10th (remember that the test is cumulative)
- No Homework, but begin studying!

Posting for Points:
What is the BEST method for determining if one given equation is the inverse of another inverse equation?

See if (f o g)(x) and (g o f)(x) both equal x.

jtaylor said...

plug it into the fog and gof formulas and see if they both are equal to x

Sara C. said...

plug into (fog)(x) and (gof)(x) and if htey equal x then they are inverse functions.

Taylor Z. said...

plug into fog(x) and gof(x). If both equal out to x then they are inverse functions.

sarah b said...

use (fog)(x) and (gof)(x) and see if they both equal x and if they do then they are inverses.

alston p said...

plug into fog(x) and gof(x)and if both of the answers equal (x) then they're inverse

r point said...

check whether (fog)(x) and (gof)(x) both equal x

Whoops, answered the wrong question with that last post.

You gotsa do the fOg and gOf formulas to find if they both equal X.

I love blogs, makes us feel like a unified math class.

due (fog) or (gof) to determine if they are inverses

Holly_N said...

you have to see if fog(x) and gof(x) both equal x. if they both equal x, then they are inverse functions.
