Abstract:

smrty01 — 2017-11-02 18:46:08 UTC

Jaime Foxx is trapped and needs your help! Jaime managed to send you a secret message. The message says how he is trapped and needs your math expertise to save him. The only way to save Jaime is if you decode a highly advanced inverse function. A mathematical kit, with steps to decode the message, has been provided to you. Can you decode the message in time to save Jaime?

Learner Description/Context:

smrty01 — 2017-11-02 18:47:23 UTC

Students will be able to produce an invertible function from a non-invertible function by restricting the domain in order to solve real world problems (e.g: metric conversions; decoding a message)

Time Frame:

smrty01 — 2017-11-02 18:48:41 UTC

30 minutes each class period for two weeks.

Standards Assessed:

smrty01 — 2017-11-02 18:49:21 UTC

F.BF.4- Build new functions from existing functions

Find inverse functions

F.BF.4d- Produce an invertible function from a non-invertible function by restricting the domain.

Product:

smrty01 — 2017-11-02 18:50:58 UTC

What is the end-product the students will produce? Who will use/care about the product? Why will the product be meaningful to students? How is technology integrated within this product? How will you assess the product?

Students will create a presentation explaining the steps they took to produce an invertible function from a non-invertible function. Students will focus their research on how to algebraically solve an invertible function and to use those skills to apply them to real-world applications such as decoding a message or converting metric units.

What help would you like to receive from Ms. Tunkara?

Invertible functions Guided Notes

Standard: F.BF.4d : produce an invertible function from a non-invertible function by restricting the domain.

What is an invertible function?

smrty01 — 2017-11-02 18:54:49 UTC

Inverse functions, in the most general sense, are functions that "reverse" each other. For example, if f takes a to b, then the inverse, f^-1, start superscript, minus, 1, end superscript, must take b to a.
a->f->b->f^-1->a

How to Find the Inverse Function:

smrty01 — 2017-11-02 18:54:56 UTC

Now that we have discussed what an inverse function is, the notation used to represent inverse functions, one-to-one functions, and the Horizontal Line Test, we are ready to try and find an inverse function.

Here are the steps required to find the inverse function:

Step 1: Determine if the function has an inverse. Is the function a one to one function? If the function is a one to one function, go to step 2. If the function is not a one to one function, then say that the function does not have an inverse and stop.

Step 2: Change f(x) to y.

Step 3: Switch x and y.

Step 4: Solve for y.

Step 5: Change y back to f (x ).

By following these 5 steps we can find the inverse function. Make sure that you follow all 5 steps. Many people will skip step 1 and just assume that the function has an inverse; however, not every function has an inverse, because not every function is a one-to-one function. Only functions that pass the Horizontal Line Test are one-to-one functions and only one-to-one functions have an inverse.

Inverse Functions

smrty01 — 2017-11-02 18:55:03 UTC

Symbol
f^-1(x)

Inverse Functions

smrty01 — 2017-11-02 18:55:06 UTC

Meaning

The composition of the function and its inverse ( and vice versa) equals x
.(f*f^-1)(x)=(f^-1*f)(x)=x

Inverse Functions

How to Find
The inverse of a relation in an equation is found by exchanging x- and -y variables in an equation and solve for x.

Inverse Functions

smrty01 — 2017-11-02 18:55:41 UTC

How to check answer
Find the compositions f*f^-1(x) and f^-1*f(x). If both answers are x, then the functions are inverses.

Inverse Functions

note
The symbol -1 in f^-1 is not an exponent
f^-1(x)≠1/_f(x)

Example 1: Find the inverse of the function f(x)=3x+6

smrty01 — 2017-11-02 18:55:48 UTC

Step 1: Change f(x)to Y y=3x+6

Step 2 : change each x variable to y. change each y-variables to x-variables x=3y+6
Step 3: Solve the equation for y, which means get y by itself x=3y+6

x-6=3y

x/3 -6/3= 3y/3

x/3-2=y
Step 4 : write answer with y on the left and in inverse notation
y=x/3-2 -> f^-1=x/3-2
