    The domain of the function f⋅g, where f(y)=4/(y-2) and g(x)=3x-1, consists of all real numbers except 7/6. This can be written as the union of intervals (-∞, 1/3) ∪ (1/6, 7/6) ∪ (7/6, ∞). The inverse of the function f(x)=4+√(x-2) has the same domain [4,∞) as the range of f(x) and the same range [2,∞) as the domain of f(x). The points (11,7) and (7,11)

    Express it in terms of a union of intervals of real numbers. Go to www.desmos.com/calculator and

    The domain of g(x) consists of all real numbers except x= , since that input value would cause us to
    3
    divide by 0. Likewise, the domain of f consists of all real numbers except 2. So, we need to exclude from
    the domain of g(x) that value of x for which g(x) = 2.

    So, the domain of f ⋅ g is the set of all real numbers except 6

    Find the inverse of the function  .
    State the domains and ranges of both the function and the inverse function in terms of intervals of
    real numbers. 

    f ( x )=4+ √ x−2

    y=4+ √ x−2
    y−4=√ x−2

    ( y−4 )2 =x−2

    ( y−4 )2 +2=x
    2
    x=( y −4 ) +2

    −1 2
    f ( x )= ( x −4 ) +2

    Let’s find the domain and range of the normal function.

    The square root of a negative number is impossible. So,

    x−2 ≥ 0
    x≥2
    So, the domain of f is the set of all real numbers that are greater than 2 or equal to 2.

    We can write this in interval notation as [2 , α )

    To find the range of f(x), we need to find f (2).

    f ( x )=4+ √ x−2

    f ( 2 ) =4 + √ 2−2

    f ( 2 ) =4 + √ 0
    f ( 2 ) =4
    So, the range of f is the set of all real numbers that are greater than 4 or equal to 4.

    We can write this in interval notation as [4 , α )


    Since f −1 is an inverse function of f , the domain of f will be the range of f −1, and vice versa.

    Domain of f is [2 , α )

    Range of f is [4 , α )

    Domain of f −1 is [4 , α )

    Range of f −1 is [2 , α )

    Using the function from #2, go to www.desmos.com/calculator and obtain the graph of , its inverse,
    and in the same system of axes. About what pair (a, a) are (11, 7) and (7, 11) reflected
    about?

    f ( x )=4+ √ x−2
    −1 2
    f ( x )= ( x −4 ) +2
    g (x) = x

    As we can see in the graph, (11, 7) and (7, 11) are reflected about the pair (9,9).
