Mathematics 2: MAT14903 Summary
Blue = at formula sheet, yellow = important to remember
TIPS: spend time practicing the basic rules for calculating with the functions (discussed in Week 1). When you master
this, this will increase your chance of passing the exam significantly. Study all parts, including the mentioned
exercises, and focus also on the intermediate tests and practice exam, these tests represent the exam well.

Putting in 2 in 𝑓(𝑥)and then the answer into 𝑔(𝑦) is just a test for the inverse
The inverse is mirrored in the line 𝑦 = 𝑥
Exercise

A stimulus response relation is modelled with the function 𝑟(𝑠) = 2𝑠 0.3 . According to this model, find the factor by
which the stimulus should be increased to cause a response twice as large as the original one.
𝑠 0.3 = 2

𝑠 = 20.3 = 10.08
Answer: 10.08
