Unit 2 – Absolute Value Day 4

SOLVING AN ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATION

Ex1: SOLVE | 2x – 4| = 12 ** We do not know if the “stuff” inside is a 12 or a -12!

So, we set up TWO possibilities!!!

2x – 4 = 12 OR 2x – 4 = -12 Solve each equation. Check your answers!

Set builder notation:

Ex2a: SOLVE |3x + 2| = 7 Ex2b: SOLVE 3|4w – 1| - 5 = 10

Set builder notation: Set builder notation:

Ex3a: SOLVE |2x + 5| = 3x + 4 Ex 3b: Solve for d: a|x + d| - c = b

Ex4: Find a value for b such that |x| = x + b has exactly one solution.

SOLVING AN ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATION IN THE CALCULATOR

** Almost all EQUATIONS can be SOLVED in the calculator, although some may be easier done
by hand!

STEPS:
 Put the left side of the equation in y1
 Put the right side of the equation in y2
The solution is where the two graphs intersect!
 Move the cursor over the first intersection
 Press “2nd” “calc” and select option 5: intersect
Remember, we are usually solving for x, so write down the x value
 Move the cursor over the second intersection
 Press “2nd” “calc” and select option 5: intersect

Ex6: SOLVE |x – 1| = 5x + 10 **these are the type that sometimes produce ________________
solutions… you don’t have to worry about that on the calc!

Set builder notation: ______________________________

SOLVING A SYSTEM

Review: When you are given TWO equations at the same time and told to solve, you are supposed to
find the x AND the y value(s) that work in both equations at the same time.

You can solve by graphing one equation in y1 and the other in y2 and finding BOTH the x and y values of
the intersections.

Ex7: SOLVE y = 2x + 4
y = |x + 2| - 3

We write our answer as the actual points of intersection: _______________________________

Ex8: SOLVE y = |x + 6|
y = -|x – 5|

Solution: _______________

Ex6: GRAPH f(x) = |x – 3| + 7. How do you think this graph will compare to f(x) = |x|? What do you
think the vertex will be?

Ex7: GRAPH f(x) = -|x|. How does this graph compare to f(x) = |x|? How are the domain and range
affected?

Ex 9: At what x-coordinate does f(x) = |-2x + 3| - 2 have a minimum value?

A. -2 B. -2/3 C. 3/2 D. 3

SUMMARY: f(x) = |mx + b| + c

the value of m affects the “slope” of the graph
the value of b moves the graph left/right ( +b inside moves left, -b inside moves right)
the value of c moves the graph up/down (+ c moves up, - c moves down)
if there is a negative in the front, the whole graph is reflected over the x-axis.

Composition of Functions

REVIEW: FUNCTION NOTATION  f(x) = 2x + 3 is the same thing as y = 2x + 3.

How do we read f(x)?

This essentially means that the function (and the y values of it) DEPENDS on the values of x.

What is meant by f(2)? How does this relate to graphing?

Find the following: CHALLENGES:

f(2) = ________ f(∆) = ______
f(-3) = _______ f() = _____
f(0) = _______ f(+ ) = ______
f(c) = ______ f(k – 3) = _____

COMPOSITIONS
We will look at multiple functions at one time.

Ex 1: f(x) = -x + 4 and h(x) = 2x. Find the following:

f(h(3)) = ____________________ h(h(8)) = ___________________

h(f(-5)) = ___________________ ** f(h(f(2))) = _________________

A Composition Function is the result of plugging one function into another like the last challenge
problem! Usually, though, the same variable is used.

Ex 2: f(x) = x2 + 2. Find:
f(x+1) =

The following example is the same concept, just presented in a different way!

Ex 3: f(x) = 3x + 5 and g(x) = x – 2. Find f(g(x)). What is g(x)?? So we really want to find:
f(x–2) =

NOTATION: f(g(x)) = f ◦ g(x) AND g(f(x)) = g ◦ f(x)

19
Ex 4: f(x) = 2x2 and g(x) = x + 3. Find the following:

f(g(x)) = __________________________ g(f(-2)) = _________________________

f ◦ g(3) = ________________________ g ◦ g(x) = _________________________

g ◦ f(x) = _________________________ g ◦ g(7) = _________________________

FINDING THE DOMAIN AND RANGE OF COMPOSITIONS

Remember, Domain is: ________________ Range is: _________________

Ex 5: f(x) = x – 2 and h(x) = x2 – 1. Find the following:

Domain of f(x): _________________ Range of f(x): __________________

Domain of h(x): _________________ Range of h(x): _________________

f ◦ h(x) = ______________________

Domain of f ◦ h(x): _______________________ Range of f ◦ h(x): _______________

h ◦ f(x) = ______________________

Domain of h ◦ f(x): _______________________ Range of h ◦ f(x): _______________

** When finding the domain of a composition, you must consider the domain of each
of the separate functions!!

Ex 6: g(x) = x and h(x) = x2. Find the following:

Domain of h(x): ________________ h ◦ g(-3) = _________________________

Domain of g(x): ________________ h ◦ g(x) = _________________________

Domain of h ◦ g(x) = _________________________

Ex 7: Shirley is paid an annual salary plus a bonus of 4% of her sales over $15,000. Let x represent
Shirley’s sales, f(x) = x – 15,000 represent her sales over $15,000, and p(x) represent the amount of her
bonus. Which function notation represents the amount of her bonus?

A. f(x) + p(x) B. f(x) – p(x) C. f(p(x)) D. p(f(x))

Hint: What does her bonus DEPEND on?

Compositions and Inverses
FINDING THE INVERSE OF A FUNCTION (just the basics – used more later in the year)

Basically, an inverse is found by SWITCHING THE X AND Y. The resulting relation may
not be a function anymore!

Ex 1: Given { (1, -4), (-3, 2), (5, 2), (0, -7) } Is the given a function? Explain

a. Find the inverse.

b. Is the inverse a function? (Explain)

Ex 2: Given { (3, 4), (-4, 0), (-2, 1), (7, 5) } Is the given a function? Explain

a. Find the inverse.

b. Is the inverse a function? (Explain)

When a function’s inverse is also a function, it is said to be ___________________________.

Definition: A function is a one-to-one function if and only if each x and y value is used only
once.

When this is the case, the notation for the inverse is f -1(x).

Why would we only use this notation for the inverses of one-to-one functions?

Recall: We use the _____________________ to visually determine if a graph is a function (so we can
see that for every x, there is only one y).

So, to visually determine if for every y there is only one x, we use the ______________________.

Ex 3: Using the function at the right, graph the inverse. Is the inverse
a function?
2
DOMAIN of the original: __________________

RANGE of the original: ___________________

5

DOMAIN of the inverse: __________________

-2

RANGE of the inverse: ___________________

**NOTICE: sketch the line y = x on the graph at the right. What would happen if we folded our papers
on the line y = x? THIS IS ALWAYS THE CASE!
22
A function and its inverse are reflections of each other over the line: ____________

Ex 4: In a) and b) are the graphs shown inverses of each other? Is the inverse a function?

a) DOMAIN of original: __________ b)

RANGE of original: ___________

DOMAIN of inverse: ___________

RANGE of inverse: ____________

What do you notice??

FINDING AN INVERSE ALGEBRAICALLY

We use the same general rule: SWITCH X AND Y! Then we will get y by itself.

Ex 5: f(x) = 3x – 2. Find the inverse. Ex 6: g(x) = x2 – 3. Find the inverse.

(Is it OK to use f -1(x) notation?) (Is it OK to use g -1(x) notation?)

Step 1 Replace f(x) Step 1 Replace

with y g(x) with y
Step 2 Switch x Step 2 Switch x
and y and y
Step 3 Solve for y Step 3 Solve for y
(get y by (get y by
itself) itself)

Ex 7: Find the inverse of h(x) = -2x – 5

How can we make sure our answers are right?

The website below goes over multiple ways your calculator can confirm this for you!
http://www.mathbits.com/MathBits/TISection/Algebra2/inverse.htm
23
USING COMPOSITIONS TO CONFIRM INVERSES
Recall: Multiplicative inverses are numbers that “cancel out” to a 1 when multiplied:
Such as, ½ × 2 = 1 or ¼ × 4 = 1.

Additive inverses are numbers that “cancel out” to a 0 when added: such as -3 + 3 = 0

Functional inverses are numbers that “cancel out” to an x when composed together!

Given f(x) and f -1(x), then f ◦ f -1(x) = x = f –1◦ f(x) (You must do both confirm)
So, plugging an inverse into its original function basically cancels everything out and you are left with
just x!

Ex 8: Use compositions to determine whether the following are inverses.

a) f(x) = 4x – 3 and g(x) = (x + 3)/4 b) f(x) = 6x – 1 and g(x) = (x – 1)/6

f ◦ g(x) = g ◦ f(x) = f ◦ g(x) = g ◦ f(x) =

Ex 9: Find h(h-1(256)) Ex 10: Find h-1 ◦ h(-457838)

Review Translating Words to Math:

Problem: Jeanne has $17 in her piggy bank. How much money does she
need to buy a game that costs $68?
Solution: Let x represent the amount of money Jeanne needs. Then the
following equation can represent this problem:
17 + x = 68
We can subtract 17 from both sides of the equation to find the value of x.
68 - 17 = x
Answer: x = 51, so Jeanne needs $51 to buy the game.
In the problem above, x is a variable. The symbols 17 + x = 68 form an algebraic equation. Let's look at
some examples of writing algebraic equations.
