1E Composite Functions (1 Session)


Key Points

1. The composite function of g with f is written as g ◦ f , read as ’composite function


of f followed by g’.

2. g ◦ f (x) = g(f (x))

3. For g ◦ f (x) to be defined, the range of f must be a subset of the domain of g, i.e.,
ran f ⊆ dom g.

4. dom(g ◦ f ) = dom f .

5. In general, g ◦ f ̸= f ◦ g.

1F Inverse Functions (0.5 Session)


Key Points of Inverse Functions

• A function f (x) has an inverse function only if f (x) is a one-to-one function,


denoted as f −1 (x).

• The relationships between the domains and ranges of f (x) and f −1 (x) are shown
below:

f (x) f −1 (x)
domain range
range domain

• The graphs of f (x) and f −1 (x) are symmetrical about the line y = x.

• To find f −1 (x) given f (x), follow these steps:

(a) Replace f (x) with y (optional), then swap x with y.


(b) Make y the subject and replace y with f −1 (x).

• f (f −1 (x)) = f −1 (f (x)) = x.

axes, labelling all key points with coordinates. You don’t need to label the
coordinates for the intersection point.
