Capitolo 2, Problema 99

The graphs of y = sin⁻¹ x, y = cos⁻¹ x, and y = tan⁻¹ x are shown in Table 2.8. In Exercises 97–106, use transformations (vertical shifts, horizontal shifts, reflections, stretching, or shrinking) of these graphs to graph each function. Then use interval notation to give the function's domain and range. f(x) = cos⁻¹ (x + 1)

Identify the base function: here, the base function is the inverse cosine function, written as \(y = \cos^{-1} x\).
Recognize the transformation inside the function: the function is \(f(x) = \cos^{-1} (x + 1)\), which means the input to the inverse cosine is shifted horizontally by -1 (to the left by 1 unit).
Determine the domain of the transformed function by considering the domain of the original \(\cos^{-1} x\), which is \([-1, 1]\). Since the input is \(x + 1\), set \(-1 \leq x + 1 \leq 1\) and solve for \(x\) to find the new domain.
Recall that the range of \(\cos^{-1} x\) is \([0, \pi]\). Since the transformation is only horizontal (inside the function), the range remains unchanged.
Summarize the domain and range in interval notation based on the calculations and transformations applied.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Inverse trigonometric functions like cos⁻¹(x) return the angle whose cosine is x. They have specific domains and ranges, for example, cos⁻¹(x) is defined for x in [-1,1] with range [0, π]. Understanding these functions is essential to interpret and graph transformations correctly.

Introduction to Inverse Trig Functions

Graph Transformations

Graph transformations include shifts, reflections, stretches, and shrinks applied to a base graph. For f(x) = cos⁻¹(x + 1), the '+1' inside the function causes a horizontal shift left by 1 unit. Recognizing how these transformations affect the graph helps in sketching and determining domain and range.

Introduction to Transformations

Domain and Range of Transformed Functions

The domain and range of a function can change after transformations. For cos⁻¹(x + 1), the domain shifts accordingly, affecting the input values allowed. Using interval notation to express these sets precisely is crucial for fully describing the function's behavior.
