7.1 Inverse Functions Math 6B Calculus II
One to One Function • A function f is called a one-to-one function if it never takes on the same value twice; that is • Horizontal Line Test A function is one-to-one if and only if no horizontal line intersects its graph more than once.
Inverse Functions • Let f be a one-to-one function with domain Dand range R. Then its inverse function f -1has domain Rand range Dand is defined by for any y in R.
Inverse Functions domain of f -1 = range of f range of f -1 = domain of f f –1does not mean 1/f (x)
Existence of Inverse Functions Let f be a one-to-one function on a domain D with a range of R. Then f has a unique inverse f -1 with domain R and range D such that and where x is in D and y is in R.
How to Find the Inverse of a One-to-One Function • Replace f (x) with y. • Interchange x and y. • Solve this equation for yin terms of x(if possible). • Replace y with f–1(x). The resulting equation is y = f–1(x).
Graph of a Inverse Function A function and its inverse will always have symmetry about the line y = x.
The Calculus of Inverse Functions • If f is a continuous function defined on an interval, then its inverse function f–1 is also continuous.
Derivative of the Inverse Function • Let f be differentiable and have an inverse on the interval I. If x0 is a point on the interval I at which then f-1is a differentiable at and )() = ,where =
