Intermediate Value Theorem: If f (x) is continuous for a ≤ x ≤ b, and if f (a) < Γ < f (b), then there is at least one number c between a and b y where f (c) = Γ. b, f (b)

Proof: Let S be the set of x’s in [a, b] having f (x) ≤ Γ. Let c be its least upper bound. To show that f (c) = Γ, both f (c) < Γ and f (c) > Γ will be eliminated by contradictions in the following:

Suppose that f (c) were less than Γ. Let  equal Γ − f (c), which would be > 0.

Continuity of f at x = c would require that there be a δ > 0 such that c < x < c + δ would imply that |f (x) − f (c)| < Γ − f (c), that f (x) − f (c) < Γ − f (c), that f (x) < Γ, that x belongs to the set S, so that x ≤ c. (A Contradiction)

Suppose that f (c) were greater than Γ. Let  be f (c) − Γ, which would now be > 0.

y = f (c) δ

Continuity of f at x = c would require that there be a δ > 0 such that c − δ < x < c would imply that |f (x) − f (c)| < f (c) − Γ,  − f (c) − Γ < f (x) − f (c), Γ − f (c) < f (x) − f (c), and that Γ < f (x). None of these x’s belong to S. Thus c − δ is an upper bound, and c is not the least upper bound of S. (Another Contradiction)

Intermediate Value Theorem: If f (x) is continuous for a ≤ x ≤ b, and if f (a) < Γ < f (b), then there is at least one number c between a and b where f (c) = Γ. y 4

Example: f (x) = x . f (1) = 1, f (2) = 4 1<3<4 There is a number c satisfying f (c) = 3 c2 = 3 √ c= 3 √ Thus 3 exists as a real number.

A function is said to be increasing if f (a) < f (b) for all a and b in its domain satisfying a < b.

This implies for any c and d that f (c) < f (d)

if c < d, because f is increasing,

f (c) > f (d)

if c > d, also because f is increasing, and

f (c) = f (d)

if c = d, because f is a function.

Since we have for any c and d that f (c) < f (d)

if c < d,

f (c) > f (d)

if c > d,

f (c) = f (d)

if c = d,

to have f (c) = f (d) would require that neither f (c) < f (d) nor f (c) > f (d) could be true; that neither c < d nor c > d could be true; but that c must equal d.

For any increasing function f , f (c) = f (d) happens if, and only if, c = d. Any increasing function f is one-to-one: For each y in the range of f , there is a unique x in the domain of f such that y = f (x). Define f −1(y) to be this x.

For each y in the range of f , there is a unique x in the domain of f such that y = f (x). Define f −1(y) to be this x. −1



f (x) equals x Clearly, f  −1 because f f (x) = f −1(y) = x, −1

The inverse function of f is the function f −1. The inverse function of f −1 is the function f .

Since f is increasing, we have for any c and d in the domain of f that f (c) < f (d)

if c < d,

f (c) > f (d)

if c > d,

f (c) = f (d)

if c = d,

to have f (c) < f (d) would require that neither f (c) = f (d) nor f (c) > f (d) could be true; that neither c = d nor c > d could be true; but that c must be less than d.

For any increasing function f , f (c) < f (d) happens if, and only if, c < d. For any a and b in the domain of f −1: a
so that the inverse function f −1 is also increasing. Therefore: Any increasing function f has an inverse function f −1, which is also increasing.

Theorem: If f (x) is defined, increasing and continuous for all x on an interval a ≤ x ≤ b, then the inverse function f −1, defined above, is also increasing and continuous. Moreover, f −1 has f (a) ≤ y ≤ f (b) as its domain, and f −1 has a ≤ x ≤ b as its range. Proof: Obviously, f

f (b) equals b.

For any y between f (a) and f (b), f (a) < y < f (b) the Intermediate Value Theorem assures the existence of at least one c between a and b a
Since f is increasing, and thus one-to-one, there can be only one such c where f (c) = y, and f −1(y) equals this c. So far, we have and

a < c = f −1(y) < b f (a) < y =

f (c) < f (b).

To show the continuity of f −1 at y = f (c), consider WOLG any positive  smaller than both c − a and b − c.

It would be sufficient to let δ be any positive number at least as small as the smaller of f (c) − f (c − ) and f (c + ) − f (c), i.e.  δ < min f (c) − f (c − ), f (c + ) − f (c) .

Theorem: If f (x) is defined, increasing and continuous for all x on an interval, then the inverse function f −1, defined above, is also increasing and continuous. The domain of f −1 is the range of f . The range of f −1 is the domain of f .

Theorem: If f (x) is defined, decreasing and continuous for all x on an interval, then the inverse function f −1, defined above, is also decreasing and continuous. The domain of f −1 is the range of f . The range of f −1 is the domain of f .

A vertical line tangent to the graph of f will correspond to a horizontal tangent for f −1:

A diagonal tangent line for one graph will become a diagonal tangent line for the other graph, but with a reciprocal slope:

Theorem: With y = f (x), if f 0(x) exists and is nonzero,  −1 0 then f (y) exists and equals the reciprocal of f 0(x). Proof: lim

Theorem: With y = f (x), if f 0(x) exists and is nonzero,  −1 0 then f (y) exists and equals the reciprocal of f 0(x). 0



Proof, using f (u) − f (x) = f (x) + o(1) (u − x) : u−x= f −1(v) − f −1(y) =

f (u) − f (x)

f 0(x) + o(1) f (f −1(v)) − f (f −1(y))

f 0(x) + o(1) 1 −1 −1 (v − y) f (v) − f (y) = 0 f (x) + o(1)   1 −1 −1 f (v) − f (y) = + o(1) (v − y) 0 f (x)

Theorem: With y = f (x), if f 0(x) exists and is nonzero,  −1 0 then f (y) exists and equals the reciprocal of f 0(x).
