Show that the sum of two increasing functions is increasing.
Suppose \(f\) is a function whose domain equals \\{2,4,7,8,9\\} and whose range equals \(\\{-3,0,2,6,7\\} .\) Explain why \(f\) is a one-to-one function.
Suppose you are exchanging cur. rency in the London airport. The currency exchange service there only makes transactions in which one of the two currencies is British pounds, but you want to exchange dollars for Euros. Thus you first need to exchange dollars for British pounds, then exchange British pounds for Euros. At the time you want to make the exchange, the function \(f\) for exchanging dollars for British pounds is given by the formula \(f(d)=0.66 d-1\) and the function \(g\) for exchanging British pounds for Euros is given by the formula \(g(p)=1.23 p-2\) The subtraction of 1 or 2 in the number of British pounds or Euros that you receive is the fee charged by the currency exchange service for each transaction. Which process gives you more Euros: exchanging $$\$ 100$$ for Euros twice or exchanging $$\$ 200$$ for Euros once?
Suppose \(f\) is a function and a function \(g\) is defined by the given expression. (a) Write \(g\) as the composition of \(f\) and one or two linear functions. (b) Describe how the graph of \(g\) is obtained from the graph of \(f\). \(g(x)=f(5 x)\)
For each of the functions \(f\) given. (a) Find the domain of \(f\). (b) Find the range of \(f\). (c) Find a formula for \(f^{-1}\). (d) Find the domain of \(f^{-1}\). (e) Find the range of \(f^{-1}\). You can check your solutions to part (c) by verifying that \(f^{-1} \circ f=I\) and \(f \circ f^{-1}=I\) (recall that \(I\) is the function defined by \(I(x)=x\) ). \(f(x)=3 x+5\)
