Functional Relationships

Virginia SOL MA.FR.1

Analyze compositions of functions to determine and verify inverses of functions.

What students need to be able to do

  • Construct the composition of functions algebraically.
  • Construct the composition of functions graphically.
  • Determine the domain and range of composite functions algebraically.
  • Determine the domain and range of composite functions graphically.
  • Develop the inverse of a function algebraically.
  • Develop the inverse of a function graphically.
  • Compare the domain and range of the inverse of a function with the original function, both algebraically and graphically.
  • Use mathematical reasoning to generalize and communicate the criteria for an inverse function to exist.
