COMBINING FUNCTIONS AND INVERSES

Introduction

Hi students, today you will investigate combining functions by completing this webquest.  Take notes as you go and be prepared to ask questions and continue on Thursday.

To begin learning click on "Task" in the navigation bar.

Task

What will you accomplish?

  • How to add, subtract, multiply, and divide functions
  • How to find the domain of functions
  • How to simplify a composition of functions
  • How to find the inverse of a function

 When you are ready to start click "Process" and begin!

 

 

 

 

Process

Make sure you take notes as you go - I will not be going over this information in class!

You will be visiting several websites which have practice embedded so you can check yourself along the way.

Go to Mathisfun - Combining Functions (click the link) and read all about combining functions.

  • Take notes as you go!
  • Explore all the tabs click on all the links to get info.
  • Try the pracitce problems at the bottom of the website to test yourself.

Go to Mathisfun - Composition of Functions (click the link) to learn about simplifying the composition of functions.

  • Take notes as you go!
  • Explore all the tabs click on all the links to get info.
  • Try the practice problems at the bottom of the website to test yourself.

Go to MyMathLab, click on Multimedia Library to investigate 2.6 a little more about combining functions and composition of functions.

  • Watch the animations
  • Watch the Video Lecture
  • Check out the PowerPoint
  • Try the homework problems for 2.6.

Go to Mathisfun - Inverse Functions (click the link) and Mathisfun - Inverse Functions read all about finding the inverse of a function.

  • Take notes as you go!
  • Explore all the tabs click on all the links to get info.
  • Try the pracitce problems at the bottom of the website to test yourself.

Go to MyMathLab, click on Multimedia Library to investigate 2.7.  Inverses and how to find them.

  • Watch the animations
