Inverse • The inverse of a relation is formed by interchanging the variables.
Interchange to get inverse graph • Interchange x and y to get the inverse function and graph it along with the original relation.
Answer • Interchange columns and plot on original graph
Tests • Inverses are reflections about the line y=x • The vertical line test is for determining whether a relation is a function. • The horizontal line test is for determining whether a relation has an inverse function.
Functions and inverse functions • Are the following functions? Do they have inverse functions?
Answer • Yes (passes vertical), no (fails horizontal) • Yes (passes vertical),yes (passes horizontal) • No (fails vertical), yes (passes horizontal)
Verifying inverses • To verify that two relations are inverses of one another, compose each and get the identity x both times.
Verifying • Verify that
Answer • Compose both ways.
To find an inverse • Switch the variables and solve for y
Finding Inverses • Find the inverse of f(x)=3x-5.
Answer • Switch x and y and solve for y.
