DOES an inverse function exist? IF YES, you can find the inverse function.
The inverse function is denoted by The Existence of the Inverse of f(x) IFfor every x there is at most one y(function) AND IFfor every y there is at most one x(one-to-one) then an inverse function of f(x) exists.
Graphical Existence of Inverse Passes BOTH vertical and horizontal line test. No Inverse Exists (1, 0), (0, 0) No Inverse Exists (1, 1), (-1, 1) Inverse Exists
