TASK

#1: DOMAIN & RANGE

Identify domain & range graphically. (Graphing 2)
Recall that domain is the POSSIBLE INPUTS of a functionso the xs that can be plugged into the
equation that will give a solution. Find the domain & range for each of the following. Recall that one
strategy is to graph the function and use the table to analyze the inputs that produce solutions.

TASK #3: Evaluating functions and their inverses.

Find the inverse of a function. (Functions 3) Compose functions. (Functions 2)
LEVEL A:
Let = 4 + 7. First, find the inverse !! (). Then, find each value listed below.

b. ( 0 )

d. ( !! (2))

e. ( !! (3))

f. !! ( 3 )

a. (7)

g. Take a look at d. and e. and f. above. Try to find ( !! 8 ) without plugging anything in.

LEVEL B:
Let = 5 3 and = ! 1. First, find the inverse !! () and !! (). Then, find each value
listed below.
a. ( 2 )

b. ( 2 )

c. !! (12)

d. !! (8)

e. (!! 15 )

f. ( !! (7))

g. Take a look at d. and e. and f. above. Try to find ( !! 8 ) without plugging anything in. What about
!! ( 100 )?

TASK #4: Graphing Functions

Identify if a function has an inverse. (Functions 2) Identify domain & range. (Graphing 2)

Graph the following functions on a calculator. Using the vertical line test, decide if
it is a function. Using the horizontal line test, determine if it will have an inverse.
For additional practice, find the domain & range of each function.
