Chapter 6 Terms & Examples
by Angelica Hernandez
1. 6-4 Transforming Functions
1.1. Example: For a horizontal function, right would be f(x-h) moves the function h unites right. Left would be f(x+h) moves the function h units left.
2. 6-5 Operations with Functions
2.1. Composition of functions: When a function operation uses the output from one function as the input for a second function.
3. 6-6 Functions & their Inverses
3.1. One-to-one function: each y-value is paired with exactly one x-value.
4. 6-1 Multiple Representations of Functions
4.1. Example: The manager of Leonard's Lemonades wants to estimate his daily profit by multiplying the number of lemonade cups by $5. To find this he could set up an equation: p=5n
5. 6-3 Piecewise Functions
5.1. Piecewise function: a function that is a combination of one or more function.
5.2. Step function: a piecewise function that is constant for each interval of it's domain.
6. 6-2 Comparing Functions
6.1. Example: On a table, the y column numbers are 4, 2, 0 -2. The x column numbers are 0, 3, 6, 9.
