Key Concept
Inverse of a Function
Relation
Inverse
Inverse of a Function –
is formed when the
I
variable is with
the
e
variable. of
the x and y values. Inverses are indicated by the
notation .
Example:
OnetoOne Function
Horizontal Line Test
One to
and only
e
output.
Example
Not
If
no
horizontal line
intersects the graph
of a
function more than
once,
then the
inverse
of
is a function.
In order for the
inverse of a function
to be a
function, the
original function
must be a
onetoone
function and meets the criteria for
Examples: Determine if the function is one to one ?

Not all
functions
meet the
criteria
to have an
inverse
which is also a
function.
However, if the
domain is restricted (example:
) , only
part of
the domain
is used, then the inverse will be a
function.
Example: Is one to one?
Example:
Is onetoone a function?
Vertical Line test:
Horizontal Line test:
What was restricted to make it a function?
If the function turns the apple into a banana
Then the
inverse
function turns the banana back
to the apple
Description of an Inverse
Mathematical operational pairs
(What operation undoes the other)
Addition (+)
Example:
We have a function machine.
We need to decide
what function
can be used to make the output the
same as the input number.
Describe the
operation symbolically.

Graphs of inverse relations
The graph of an
relationship is the
of the about the
line .
Point .
What is the inverse?
Point .
Write the inverse function for the table of values. Graph the function in black and in a different color on the coordinate grid at the right. Then graph the line of reflection for the corresponding points.
Is a function also?
