Calculus Catch Up
Functions: Domain, Inverse, Composition

o I can draw the graphs of 𝑒 𝑥 , ln(𝑥) , sin(𝑥) , cos(𝑥) , tan(𝑥).


o I know the properties of exponential and logarithmic functions.
o I can recognize a function composition, 𝑓 ∘ 𝑔 = 𝑓(𝑔(𝑥)).
o I can find the domain (all allowable inputs) of a function.
o I understand that an inverse function is a reflection in y=x and undoes the other
function.
1. Identify 𝑓(𝑥), 𝑔(𝑥), and ℎ(𝑥) in the following composition.
𝑓(𝑔(ℎ(𝑥)) = cos 3 (√𝑥)
𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑔(𝑥) =
ℎ(𝑥) =
√3−𝑥 1
2. Find the domain of 𝑓(𝑥) = + ln(𝑥) + sin (𝑥)
√𝑥+2

3. Find the inverse of 𝑦 = 2ln(𝑥 + 1) − 4.

Inverse Trigonometry

o I understand the difference between reciprocal and inverse trig functions.


o I know the restricted domains and ranges of sin(x), cos(x), and tan(x).
1. For what values of 𝑥 are the following statements true?

a. sin(arcsin(𝑥)) = 𝑥

b. arccos(cos(𝑥)) = 𝑥

c. arcsin(sin(𝑥)) = 𝑥

d. arctan(tan(𝑥)) = 𝑥

Limits

o I understand that a limit describes the behaviour of a function close to some input.
o I recognize when a limit is indeterminant and use various strategies to solve.
o I can evaluate limits at infinity, one-sided limits, and limits involving piecewise
functions and interpret their meaning graphically.
o I can write out the 𝜖𝛿 definition of a limit and explain it using a graph. (MATH1010)

Continuity and Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT)

o I know the three criteria for a function to be continuous at a point.


o I understand that IVT states that if a function 𝑓(𝑥) is continuous on the closed
interval [𝑎, 𝑏], then it takes on every 𝒚 value between 𝑓(𝑎) and 𝑓(𝑏) at least once.
