If the functions f and g satisfy two conditions:. Section 4.1: Inverses. g(f(x)) = x for every x in the domain of f . f(g(x)) = x for every x in the domain of g. then f and g are inverse functions . f is an inverse of g and g is an inverse of f. Determine whether f and g are inverses:.

If the functions f and g satisfy two conditions: Section 4.1: Inverses g(f(x)) = x for every x in the domain of f f(g(x)) = x for every x in the domain of g then f and g are inverse functions. f is an inverse of g and g is an inverse of f
Determine whether f and g are inverses: Section 4.1: Inverses f and g are inverses
Method for determining the inverse of a function: Section 4.1: Inverses Solve for x:
A function f has an inverse if and only if its graph is cut at most once by any horizontal line: Section 4.1: Inverses A function which passes the vertical and horizontal line tests has an inverse and is one-to-one.
Graphically: Section 4.1: Inverses If f has an inverse, the graphs of the functions are reflections of one another about the line y = x.
If the graph of f is always increasing or decreasing, then the function f has an inverse. Section 4.1: Inverses How can we show a function is always increasing or decreasing?
The domain of the original is the range of the inverse. The range of the original is the domain of the inverse. Section 4.1: Inverses
