Inverse Functions

The inverse of the function f(x) is written as ...

• f ^-1(x)
• f ²(x)
• f '(x)
• f ⁺(x)

What does it mean to find the inverse of a function?

• the x's and y's are switched
• the x's and y's are divided by 2
• the x's and y's are made negative
• the x's and y's are the same

Which of the following is NOT TRUE about inverse functions?

• Inverse functions are reflections of each other over the line y = x.

• You find the inverse by switching x and y in the equation.

• The domain of a function always becomes the domain of its inverse.

• The domain of a function always becomes the range of its inverse.

If the equation of f(x) goes through (1, 4) and (4, 6), what points does f^-1(x) go through?

• (1, 4) and (4, 6)
• (-4, -1) and (-6, -4)
• (-1, -4) and (-4, -6)
• (4, 1) and (6, 4)

Which graph represents the functions f(x) and f^-1(x)?

• 
• 
• 
• 

What's the best description?

• They are both functions, but not inverse functions.

• They are reflected over y=x, but they are not both functions.

• They are not reflected over y=x, and they are not both functions.

• They are inverse functions.

Find the inverse 
f(x)=2x-2
     

• f^-1(x)=1/2x+1
• f^-1(x)=-2-1/2x
• f^-1(x)=-7/3x-20/3
• 2-2/5x

Find the inverse of f(x) = -4x - 12

• f^-1(x) = 4x - 3
• f^-1(x) = -1/4x - 3
• f^-1(x) = 1/4x + 3
• f^-1(x) = - 4x - 3

Which is f ^-1(x)?

• f ^-1(x) = 3x + 5

• f ^-1(x) = 3x - 5

• f ^-1(x) = 3x - 15

• f ^-1(x) = 3x + 15
