This relationship is given by F = g(C) = 59 C + 32. (a) Find and interpret g(100). 9 g(100) = (100) + 32 5 = 180 + 32 = 212 The temperature 100o C is equivalent to the temperature 212o F. 1 Math 111 Module 5 Lecture Notes (b) Solve and interpret the solution to g(C) = 32. g(C) = 32 9 C + 32 = 32 5 9 C=0 5 C=0 The temperature 32o F is equivalent to the temperature 0o C. (c) Solve the equation F = 59 C + 32 for C. 9 F = C + 32 5 9 F − 32 = C 5 5 (F − 32) = C 9 5 C = (F − 32) 9 A function f is said to be one-to-one if for every y-value in the range of f there is exactly one x-value in the domain of f . A function must be one-to-one in order to have an inverse. The inverse function of f reverses the process of the original function. In other words, the input and output switch roles. The original function is given by y = f (x). The inverse function is given by x = f −1 (y). If we want to graph both of these functions in the (x, y)-plane, then we use y = f −1 (x). The inverse function of f is denoted by f −1 . It is important to note that this 1 notation is not denoting a reciprocal. That is, f −1 (x) 6= . f (x) Instructor: A.E.Cary Page 2 of 25 Math 111 Module 5 Lecture Notes 5.2 Symbolic Examples Example 2: The function f defined by f (x) = 3x + 2 is one-to-one. Find its inverse. Then graph y = f (x) and y = f −1 (x) in Figure 5.1. Include the graph of y = x also. Original Function: y = 3x + 2 To find the inverse, we switch the variables x and y and solve for y: Figure 5.1 y y=x y = f (x) y = f −1 (x) 4 x = 3y + 2 x − 2 = 3y 1 (x − 2) = y 3 1 y = (x − 2) 3 1 −1 f (x) = (x − 2) 3 2 x −4 −2 2 4 −2 −4 In the example above, the variables x and y were switched. Notice how the graph of y = f −1 (x) is a reflection of the graph of y = f (x) about the line y = x. This is because all of the (x, y) pairs switched – the point (0, 2) is on the graph of y = f (x) while the point (2, 0) is on the graph of y = f −1 (x). Similarly, the point (1, 5) is on the graph of y = f (x) whereas the point (5, 1) is on the graph of y = f −1(x). Example 3: To verify that two functions are inverses, we show that f (f −1 (x)) = x and that f −1 (f (x)) = x. Do this for the previous example. f f −1 1 (x − 2) 3 1 =3 (x − 2) + 2 3 (x) = f Instructor: A.E.Cary f −1 (f (x)) = f −1 (3x + 2) = (x − 2) + 2 1 ((3x + 2) − 2) 3 1 = (3x) 3 = xX = xX = Page 3 of 25 Math 111 Module 5 Lecture Notes 2x is one-to-one. Find the inverse funcx−1 tion. Confirm that the inverse function you found is correct by showing f (f −1 (x)) = x and f −1 (f (x)) = x.

Likewise, the outputs of f are the inputs of f −1 . The domain of f is the range of f −1 . Similarly, the range of f is the domain of f −1 .

Find the inverse function and confirm that it is the inverse by showing g (g −1 (x)) = x and g −1 (g(x)) = x.

Instructor: A.E.Cary Page 6 of 25 Math 111 Module 5 Lecture Notes 5.3 One-to-One and Invertibility The horizontal line test is a way of determining if a function is one-to-one. It states that if every horizontal line passes through a graph at most once, then the function is one-to-one. In the same way that the vertical line test verifies if a graph represents a function, the horizontal line test verifies if the graph of a function is one-to-one (and thus invertible). Example 6: Graph y = f (x) for f (x) = x2 in Figure 5.3. Then graph y = g(x) for g(x) = x2 , x ≥ 0 in Figure 5.4. Is either function invertible? Why or why not? Figure 5.4: Graph of y = g(x) Figure 5.3: Graph of y = f (x) y y 4 4 2 2 x −4 −2 2 4 x −4 −2 −2 y=x y = x2 x=y 2 −4 2 4 −2 y=x −4 y = g(x) y=g −1 (x) We can see from the graph of y = x2 that this function cannot be inverted. Since this function fails the horizontal line test, when we reflect it across the line y = x, the resulting graph is not a function as it fails the vertical line test. However, if we restict the domain on y = x2 to x ≥ 0, the resulting function is indeed invertible. This is shown in Figure ??.

To graph the inverse function, we will switch the inputs and outputs of the original function. For y = f (x), the points (−4, −4), (−3, −2), (−2, 0), (−1, 1), (0, 2), (1, 3) and (2, 4) are on the graph. Therefore the points (−4, −4), (−2, −3), (0, −2), (1, −1), (2, 0), (3, 1) and (4, 2) are on the graph of y = f −1 (x).

Below is the background and scenario, published in the New York Times1 : Dec. 1, 1980: Justice Department sues Board of Education, City of Yonkers and Yonkers Community Development Agency, charging that the city racially discriminated in education and public housing. Nov. 20, 1985: Judge Leonard B. Sand of Federal District Court in Manhattan rules that Yonkers’s housing and schools were intentionally segregated by race. A housing remedy order directs the city to build 200 units of public housing and to plan additional subsidized housing. Jan. 28, 1988: City Council approves consent decree that sets timetable for building 200 units of public housing and commits city to an additional 800 subsidized units. July 26, 1988: Court sets Aug. 1 deadline for Council to adopt zoning amendment needed to build the 800 units. Aug. 1, 1988: Council rejects amendment in a 4-to-3 vote. Aug. 2, 1988: Judge Sand finds city and the four Councilmen who voted against the amendment in contempt of court and imposes fines. The city’s fines start at $100 and double every day. The Councilmen’s fines start at $500 a day and increase by $500 each day. Example 9: Let P be the amount fined (in dollars) t days after the fine begins. Complete the first three entries of each Table 5.3 and Table 5.4.

On day 13, the fine will be $819,200. On day 14, the fine will be $1,638,400. Example 12: How much will the city of Yonkers be fined on day 30? What will each of the Councilmen’s fines be on that day? P = 500 + 500(30) P = 100(2)30 = 15500 = 107,374,182,400 The Councilmen’s fine would be $15,500. The city’s fine would be $107,374,182,400. Instructor: A.E.Cary Page 11 of 25 Math 111 Module 5 Lecture Notes An exponential function is of the form f (x) = C ax where • C is the initial value • a is the growth factor and a > 0 Consequently, an exponential function is a function that increases or decreases at a constant percent rate. Let’s review percent increase and decrease as we work through these examples. 5.7 Modeling with Exponential Functions Example 13: You start a new job with an initial salary of $36,000 per year. Each year thereafter, you receive a 3% raise. Let S(t) be your salary t years after you start your new job. (a) Write the formula for S(t). t S(t) 0 36000 1 3 36000 + 0.03(36000) = 36000(1.03) 36000(1.03) (1.03) = 36000(1.03)2 36000(1.03) (1.03) = 36000(1.03)3 4 36000(1.03)4 5 .. . 36000(1.03)5 .. . t 36000(1.03)t 2 The formula is S(t) = 36000(1.03)t (b) What will your salary be after 10 years? S(10) = 36000(1.03)10 ≈ 48380.99 Your salary will be about $48,380.99 is 10 years. Instructor: A.E.Cary Page 12 of 25 Math 111 Module 5 Lecture Notes (c) When will your salary reach $72,000? (Use your graphing calculator to solve this). We need to solve 72000 = 36000(1.03)t . To do so with a graphing calculator, graph: • Graph y1(x) = 36000(1.03)x • Graph y2(x) = 72000 • Find the point of intersection The point of intersection is about (23.45, 72000). Your salary will reach $72000 after about 23.45 years. If you receive annual increases, this means that your salary will reach $72000 in 24 years.

Let Q(t) be the volume of compost (in cubic feet) t months since decay began. Write the formula for this decreasing exponential function. Decreasing by 10% means that 90% remains.

The graph of the function given by y = ex looks a lot like the graphs of the functions given by y = 2x and y = 3x , as shown in Figure 5.15. In calculus, you will study that the special property of e is that the slope of the tangent line at zero is exactly 1, as shown in Figure 5.16.

In 2010, the population of Oregon was 3.83 million people. Let P (t) be the population of Oregon in millions, where t is the number of years after 2000. This can be modeled by P (t) = 3.298e0.015t . (a) According to this model, what will the population be in 2020? P (20) = 3.298e0.015∗20 ≈ 4.452 In 2020, there will be approximately 4.452 million people in Oregon. (b) According to this model, when will the population reach 4 million people? Use your graphing calculator to solve this. Graphing y1(x) = 4 and y2(x) = 3.298e0.015x , we find the point of intersection to be approximately (12.87,4). The population is expected to reach 4 million in about 12.87 years.

Also find the algebraic rule (or formula) for a linear function g that passes through the points (−1, 8) and (2, 1). The general equation for an exponential function is f (x) = Cax . We need to find the appropriate values for C and a. As the function passes through the points (−1, 8) and (2, 1), we have f (−1) = 8 and f (2) = 1. Since f (x) = Cax , we then have Ca−1 = 8 and Ca2 = 1. Thus we can write and solve the following ratio based on these two equations: 1 Ca2 = −1 Ca 8 12 3 4 = Ca2 Ca−2 1 Ca2 = 8 Ca−1 1 a3 = 8 1 a= 2 Now that we have the value of a, we can solve for C using one of the original function values: Ca2 = 1 2 1 C =1 2 C 1 =1 4 C=4 Therefore f (x) = 4 Note that 4 1 x 2 1 x . 2 6= 2x .

As the function passes through the points −2, 34 and (2, 12), we have f (−2) = 43 and f (2) = 12. Since f (x) = Cax , we then have Ca−2 = 34 and Ca2 = 12.

As the function passes through the points (1, 8) and (3, 128), we have f (1) = 8 and f (3) = 128. Since f (x) = Cax , we then have Ca1 = 8 and Ca3 = 128. Thus we can write and solve the following ratios: Ca3 128 = 1 Ca 8 Ca3 = 16 Ca1 a3 = 16 a1 a2 = 16 √ a = ± 16 a = ±4 Note that a = 4 is the only relevant value. Now that we have the value of a, we can solve for C using one of the original function values: 8 = Ca1 8 = C(4)1 8 = 4C 2=C Therefore f (x) = 2(4)x . We can (and should) check that this function satisfies f (1) = 8 and f (3) = 128: Check: f (1) = 2(4)1 =8X f (3) = 2(4)3 = 2 · 64 = 128 X Instructor: A.E.Cary Page 25 of 25
