Recall • 6.1 • 6.2*
Definition (6.2*) • Let be the number such that
Definition (6.2*) • Let be the number such that • ………
Definition (Inverse of ) Let be the inverse function of In particular, we have
Then,… , i.e. , i.e. , where is an rational number, we get
Then,… , i.e. , i.e. , where is an rational number, we get
So,… • and give the same values for rational numbers • However, is undefined for irrational number (not yet!)
Remarks • ∞ is not a number, it is a concept. • In particular, you should not write: • Again, you can blame whoever told you that this is ok. But it is your responsibility to do the right thing from now on.
