Inverse properties:
=x Modulus (absolute) function:
=x y= is an even function
y= : reflect everything that is below x-axis
Composite functions: (must also consider vertical translation)
f(g(x)): Ran g(x) MUST fit into Dom f(x) y = f( ): everything to right of y-axis is mirrored
Dom f(g(x)) = Dom g(x) to form a symmetrical graph
o Must make sure that Ran g(x) fits into MUST CONSIDER GRAPH TRANSLATION
Dom f(x) before finding Dom g(x)
To find Ran f(g(x)), sub Dom g(x) values in
Dom (f+g)(x) = Dom f(x) Dom g(x)
Dom (fg)(x) = Dom f(x) Dom g(x)

Factor theorem of P(x):
(ax+b) a factor if P =0
(x+k) a factor if P(-k) = 0
Remainder theorem of P(x):
Divide P(x) by (ax+b), remainder is P
Divide P(x) by (x+k), remainder is P(-k)
Transformations:
Multiply whole thing by k: dilation of factor k
from x-axis
Multiply only x by k: dilation of factor from y-
axis
FACTORISE FOR TRANSFORMATIONS
Dilation from x-axis (x, y) → (x, ay)
Dilation from y-axis (x, y) → (bx, y)
Reflection in x-axis (x, y) → (x, -y)

First principles: Derivative function:
f’(x) = Questions
Some rules:
If g(x)=kf(x), where k is a constant, then g’(x) =
kf’(x)
If f(x) = g(x) + h(x), then f’(x) = g’(x) + h’(x)
Can’t differentiate:
o Sharp points
o End points
o Discontinuous areas
Chain rule:
If q(x) = f(g(x)), then q’(x) = f’(g(x))g’(x)
= x Answers
Product rule:
If F(x) = f(x)g(x), then F’(x) = f’(x)g(x) + g’(x)f(x)
Quotient rule:
–
If F(x) = , then F’(x) =
