\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "f(x)={(1,4),(2,2),(8,3),(3,3),(-7,1),(8,-1)}\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The relation is not a function.
\n" ); document.write( "Since \"x=8+\"produces \"y=3+\"and\"+y=-1\", the relation is \"not\" a function.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) Determine the value of \"f%283%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "from given points you see that \"f%283%29=3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) Solve \"f%28x%29+=+2\"
\n" ); document.write( "from given points you see that \"f%282%29+=+2\"->\"x=2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c) Determine \"f%5E-1%284%29\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The inverse of a function differs from the function in that all the x-coordinates and y-coordinates have been switched. That is, if (\"4\",\"6\") is a point on the graph of the function, then (\"6\",\"4\") is a point on the graph of the inverse function.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, since we have no point where \"x=4\" there is no inverse \"f%5E-1%284%29\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "d) Determine if\"+f%5E-1\" is a function. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if f(x)={(1,4),(2,2),(8,3),(3,3),(-7,1),(8,-1)}, inverse will be\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "f^-1 (x)={(4,1),(2,2),(3,8),(3,3),(1,-7),(-1,8)}\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since \"x=3+\"produces \"y=8\" and \"y=3\", the relation is \"not\" a function\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "e) What is the domain and range? \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the domain and range of given relation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "domain={-7,-1,1,2,3,8}
\n" ); document.write( "range={-1,1,2,3,4}\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the domain and range of inverse:
\n" ); document.write( "domain={-1,1,2,3,4}
\n" ); document.write( "range={-7,-1,1,2,3,8}\r
