Introduction to Functions and Their Inverses

Function Basics

Picture
It is important that you finish this class knowing these 10 mother functions in addition to the 3 basic trigonometric functions and how to transform them.  Linear functions begin with
y = x.  


This line is also important for inverse functions as they are reflections of each other across this line.

y = 1/x

The Exponential function

y = 1/x ^2

The Absolute Value Function
