Functions Modeling Change: A Preparation or Calculus, 4th Edition, 2011, Connally Composition o Functions For two unctions (t) and g(t), the unction (g(t)) is said to be a composition o with g. The unction (g(t)) is deined by using the output o the unction g as the input to. also ( g( x)) ( g)( x)

Functions Modeling Change: A Preparation or Calculus, 4th Edition, 2011, Connally Composition o Functions Solution (a) g(3) = 3 2 3 = 6, so (g(3)) = (6). (6) = 2 6 + 1 = 13, so (g(3)) = 13. To calculate g((3)), we have g((3)) = g(7), because (3) = 7 Then g(7) = 7 2 3 = 46, so g((3)) = 46 Notice that, (g(3)) g((3)).

Functions Modeling Change: A Preparation or Calculus, 4th Edition, 2011, Connally Composition o Functions Solution (b) In general, the unctions (g(x)) and g((x)) are dierent: (g(x)) = (x 2 3) = 2(x 2 3) + 1 = 2x 2 6 + 1 = 2x 2 5 g((x)) = g(2x + 1) = (2x + 1) 2 3 = 4x 2 + 4x + 1 3 = 4x 2 + 4x 2

A company believes there is a linear relationship between the consumer demand or its products and the price charged. When the price was $3 per unit, the quantity demanded was 500 units per week. When the unit price was raised to $4, the quantity demanded dropped to 300 units per week. Let D(p) be the quantity per week demanded by consumers at a unit price o $p.

(a) Estimate and interpret D(5). (b) Find a ormula or D(p) in terms o p. (c) Calculate and interpret D -1 (5). (d) Give an interpretation o the slope o D(p) in terms o demand. (e) Currently, the company can produce 400 units every week. What should the price o the product be i the company wants to sell all 400 units? () I the company produced 500 units per week instead o 400 units per week, would its weekly revenues increase, and i so, by how much?

The predicted pulse in beats per minute (bpm) o a healthy person iteen minutes ater consuming q milligrams o caeine is given by r = (q).

Text Example 3 The Ironman Triathlon is a race that consists o three parts: a 2.4 mile swim ollowed by a 112 mile bike race and then a 26.2 mile marathon. A participant swims steadily at 2 mph, cycles steadily at 20 mph, and then runs steadily at 9 mph. Assuming that no time is lost during the transition rom one stage to the next, ind a ormula or the distance d, covered in miles, as a unction o the elapsed time t in hours, rom the beginning o the race.

1) Write appropriate units or each o the variables.

2) Create reasonable coordinate values or the 12 blue points indicated on the graph.

For each o the ollowing statements give the largest interval on which:

(a) The number o people in the building is increasing.

(b) The number o people in the building is constant.

(c) The number o people in the building is increasing astest.

(d) The number o people in the building is decreasing.

Using the values you created, generate ormulas or each o the 10 straight lines o the graph.

Inverse Functions The roles o a unction s input and output can sometimes be reversed. For example, the population, P, o birds on an island is given, in thousands, by P = (t), where t is the number o years since 2007. In this unction, t is the input and P is the output. I the population is increasing, knowing the population enables us to calculate the year. Thus we can deine a new unction, t = g(p), which tells us the value o t given the value o P instead o the other way round. For this unction, P is the input and t is the output. The unctions and g are called inverses o each other. A unction which has an inverse is said to be invertible. Functions Modeling Change: A Preparation or Calculus, 4th Edition, 2011, Connally

Functions Modeling Change: A Preparation or Calculus, 4th Edition, 2011, Connally Inverse Function Notation I we want to emphasize that g is the inverse o, we call it 1 (read -inverse ). To express the act that the population o birds, P, is a unction o time, t, we write P = (t). To express the act that the time t is also determined by P, so that t is a unction o P, we write t = 1 (P). The symbol 1 is used to represent the unction that gives the output t or a given input P. Warning: The 1 which appears in the symbol 1 or the inverse unction is not an exponent.
