Plot the points on the coordinate plane and graph the equations:
(c).
Find the equations that are functions and the functions that are one-to-one.
(c).
Answer to Problem 58PPS
All are functions and all except
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
From part (b) ,
Since the graph of all the equations pass the vertical line test , that is any vertical line intersects the graph at only one point. So, all the equations are functions.
Since the graph of the function
(d).
Find the values of n for which f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other.
(d).
Answer to Problem 58PPS
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
From part (c) ,
Since
A function has an inverse if and only if it is one-to-one.
From the same rule, since
Also , we can observe from the graph :
If two functions are inverse of each other , their graph is symmetric along the line
Since the graphs of the functions
But , the graphs of the functions
(e).
Find the conclusions that you can make about
(e).
Answer to Problem 58PPS
For positive even values of n , the pair of functions are not inverses.
For positive odd values of n, the pair of functions are inverses.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
For positive even values of n , the pair of functions are not one-to −one . Hence are not inverses of each other. Here , the domain of
While for postitive odd values of n , the pair of functions are one-to-one .Hence they are inverses of each other.
