Further work with functions
Graphical relationships
  • Determine the domains and ranges of the sum and difference of functions where possible, and, if appropriate, verify them using a graphing application

  • Apply knowledge of graphical relationships to solve problems involving graphs of functions, justifying conclusions in the context of the problem where appropriate

Inverse functions
  • Describe a function as one-to-one if every element in the range of the function corresponds to exactly one element of the domain

  • Recognise that inverse functions exist for one-to-one functions

  • Graph the inverse function of a given one-to-one function

  • Apply restrictions to the domain of a function, if it is not one-to-one, to obtain an inverse function

  • Solve problems based on the relationship between a function and its inverse function using algebraic and graphical techniques, including determining the points of intersection of a function and its inverse, where they exist

Parametric form of a function or relation
  • Express linear and quadratic functions and circles in parametric form

  • Convert linear and quadratic functions and circles from parametric form to Cartesian form

  • Graph linear and quadratic functions and circles expressed in parametric form

Inequalities
  • Solve cubic inequalities where the cubic is expressed as a product of linear factors

  • Solve inequalities involving rational expressions with variables in the denominator
