Composite Mapping and Inverse Mapping
COMPOSITE MAPPING:
A mapping is composite when the co- domain of the first mapping is the domain of the second mapping.
Consider the mapping f;X→ Z and g: Z→Y
X Z Yf g

The mapping f takes an element in X and produces an image in Z, and then the mapping g takes an element in Z and produces an image in Y. It can be denoted by gf or gof.
Example 1. The mappings f and g are defined by the diagram below:
F g

Determine
(a) f(-3) +f(4) (b) f(2) +g(-5) (c) g[f(-3)] (d) g[(-3)] +g[f(4)]
SOLUTION:
- F(-3) + F(4) = -5 + 9 = 4
- F(2) + F(-5) = 5 +(-10) = -5
- G[f(-3)] = g(-5) = -10
- G[f(-3)] + g[f(4)] = g(-5) + g(9) = -10 + 18 = 8
Example 2: The functions f and g on the set of real numbers are defined by f(x) = 3x-1 and g(x) = 5x+2 respectively. Find (a) F [g(x)] (b) g [f(x)] (c) 2f(x) – g(x)
SOLUTION:
- f[g(x)] = f(5x+2), 5x+2 will represent x in f(x) f ( 5x +2) = 3 (5x+2) – 1
= 15x +5
- g [f(x)] = g( 3x-1)
= g(3x-1) = 5(3x-1) + 2
= 15x -5 +2
= 15x-3
- 2f(x) – g(x) = 2(3x-1) – (5x+2)
= 6x -2 -5x -2
= x-4
INVERSE MAPPING:
A function has an inverse if it’s both one- one and onto. Consider the function f(x) = x-3 on the set p={ -1, 5, 9} into set Q ={ -2,1,3 }
A F B
If we reverse the function, that is making range of F to be the domain of the inverse function.
Therefore, B g A
g represents the inverse function of f i.e. f-1, to obtain function f-1, we follow the procedure below: f(x) = x – 3 2 y = x-3
2
Make x the subject of the formula
2y = x-3 x = 2y + 3 Then, f-1(x) = 2x+3.
Example: The function f is defined on the ser of real numbers by f(x) = 2x-1, (x≠-2/3)
3x +2
Determine (a) f-1(x) (b) f-1 (-2) (c) determine the largest domain of f-1(x)
SOLUTION:
- F(x) = 2x-1 3x+2 f-1(x), y = 2x-1 3x+2
(3x+2) y = 2x-1
3xy +2y = 2x-1 3xy-2x= -1-2y x (3y-2)= -1-2y x = -1-2y 3y -2 f-1= -1-2x 3x-2
- f-1(-2) i.e x= -2 in f-1(x) f-1(-2) = -1-2(-2) 3(-2)-2
= -1+4
-6 2
= 3
(c) The largest domain of f-1(x) is all real values of x except 2/3 8
