Type: Lesson/Unit Plan

Overview:

In Module 3, Topic C students study inverse functions, being careful to understand when inverse functions do and do not exist, working to restrict the domain of a function to produce an invertible function. They compare and create different representations of functions including tables and graphs. Students compose functions to verify that one function is the inverse of another and work with tables of data to identify features of inverse functions. Special emphasis is given to the inverse relationship between exponential and logarithmic functions.

a. Solve an equation of the form f(x) = c for a simple function f that has an inverse, and write an expression for the inverse. [F-BF4a]

Example: f(x) =2x3 or f(x) = (x+1)/(x-1) for x ≠ 1.

35 ) Find inverse functions. [F-BF4]

Solve an equation of the form f(x) = c for a simple function f that has an inverse, and write an expression for the inverse. [F-BF4a]

Example f(x) = 2x3 or f(x) = (x+1)/(x-1) for x ≠ 1.
