INVESTIGATION - The Inverse of Linear Functions

This lesson discusses inverse functions and inverse linear functions. It begins by outlining the lesson objectives of exploring inverse functions within contexts, introducing inverse function notation, and applying the concept of inverse linear functions through various representations. Examples are then provided to work with mappings, relations, and linear relations as well as key concepts and notations about inverse functions.

The Inverse of Linear Functions Lesson 7

(A)

Lesson Objectives
a. Explore the concept of inverse functions within a context b. Introduce the inverse function notations c. Apply the concept of inverse linear functions through a variety of representations

(B) Exploration

PART 1

For American tourists visiting Canada, temperature data might seem a bit unusual. So a simplified rule of thumb for converting a temperature in degrees Celsius into degrees Fahrenheit is to double the Celcius temperature and then add 30.

(a) Copy and complete the table using the visitors rule. C F -10 0 10 20 30 40

(c) What is the independent variable? (d) What is the dependent variable?

(b) Graph the relation.

(e) Does our temperature conversion rule define a function? Explain.

(f) Let f represent the rule. What ordered pair, (0,_____), belongs to f ?

(g) Let x represent the temperature in degrees Celsius. Write the equation for this rule f in function notation.

(h) In the table, f (10) = 50, which corresponds to a point on the graph of y = f (x). What is the x-coordinate of this point? What is its y -coordinate?

(D) Examples Working with Mappings & Relations

(E) Key Concepts & Notations a. The inverse of a relation and a function maps each output of the original relation back onto the corresponding input value. The inverse is the reverse of the original relation, or function b. c.

f 1 is the name given for the inverse relation. f 1 ( x ) represents the expression for calculating the value of f 1 .

d. If ( a, b ) f , then ( b, a ) f 1 .

The Inverse of Linear Functions Lesson 7


e. Given a table of values for a function, interchange the independent and dependent variables to get a table for the inverse relation. f. The domain of f is the range of f 1 and then range of f is the domain of f 1 . g. To determine the equation of the inverse in function notation, interchange x and y and solve for y.
