For each of the functions \(f\) given in Exercises \(13-\) 22: (a) Find the domain of \(f\). (b) Find the range of \(f\). (c) Find a formula for \(f^{-1}\). (d) Find the domain of \(\boldsymbol{f}^{-1}\). (e) Find the range of \(f^{-1}\). You can check your solutions to part (c) by verify. ing that \(f^{-1} \circ f=I\) and \(f \circ f^{-1}=I\) (recall that \(I\) is the function defined by \(I(x)=x\). $$ \begin{aligned} &f(x)=x^{2}+8, \text { where the domain of } f \text { equals }\\\ &(0, \infty) \end{aligned} $$
Give an example of a one-to-one function whose domain equals the set of integers and whose range equals the set of positive integers.
Suppose \(f\) is a one-to-one function. Explain why the inverse of the inverse of \(f\) equals \(f . \underline{\text { In }}\) other words, explain why $$ \left(f^{-1}\right)^{-1}=f $$
Give an example of a function whose domain is the set of integers and whose range is the set of positive integers.
Suppose \(f\) and \(g\) are functions, each of whose domain consists of four numbers, with \(f\) and \(g\) defined by the tables below: $$ \begin{array}{c|c} {x} & {f}({x}) \\ \hline {1} & 4 \\ 2 & 5 \\ 3 & 2 \\ 4 & 3 \end{array} $$ $$ \begin{array}{c|c} x & g(x) \\ \hline 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 2 \\ 4 & 4 \\ 5 & 1 \end{array} $$ Give the table of values for \(g^{-1} \circ f^{-1}\).
