d. We could always try as a last resort converting back to radical notation, but in this case we can take a cue from Example 3.3.4. Since there are three terms, and the exponent on one of the variable terms, x4/3, is exactly twice that of the other, x2/3, we have ourselves a ‘quadratic in disguise’ and we can rewrite x... |

thus 2x → ∞. As a result, our graph suggests the range of f is (0, ∞). The graph of f passes the Horizontal Line Test which means f is one-to-one and hence invertible. We also note that when we ‘connected the dots in a pleasing fashion’, we have made the implicit assumption that f (x) = 2x is continuous2 and has a doma... |
