Rational and Radical Functions

Lesson 2

Math

Unit 4

11th Grade

Lesson 2 of 18

Objective


Identify domain restrictions algebraically for non-invertible functions.

Common Core Standards


Core Standards

  • F.BF.B.4 — Find inverse functions.
  • F.IF.C.7.B — Graph square root, cube root, and piecewise-defined functions, including step functions and absolute value functions.

Foundational Standards

  • F.BF.B.4.A
  • A.CED.A.4

Criteria for Success


  1. Describe that the inverse of polynomial functions are roots and that even degree polynomials have non-invertible functions. 
  2. Identify the domain that allows for a non-invertible function to be invertible. 
  3. Identify the domain for $${\sqrt{x} }$$ is $${x\geq0}$$. The range is $${y\geq0}$$. 
  4. Determine that if the range is not the set of all real numbers in the power function, then the domain will be restricted for the inverse to be a function. 
  5. Identify when transformations affect the domain and range of a function where the domain and range is not the set of all real numbers.
