Function Transformations

Refer to math is fun: Function Transformations

Express different transformations in the function.

Refer to the previous note Graph transformations.

Let’s assume:

  • the function is f(x)

Inverse functions

Refer to math is fun: Inverse functions

If a function means Map to, then inverse function means Map back. f(x)=y maps x to y, then f'(y)=x maps y back to x. Note that f' is the inverse function of f.

The sign of a polynomial

Refere to khan academy: The sign of a polynomial

The sign of a polynomial between ANY two CONSECUTIVE roots is either always positive or always negative.

This is because polynomial functions are continuous functions (no breaks in the…
