Inverse Functions

What is the inverse of the points (1,3)(2,4)(6,2)

• (2,6)(3,1)(4,2)
• (-3,-1)(-4,-2)(-2,-6)
• (1,3)(2,4)(6,2)
• (-1,-3)(-2,-4)(-6,-2)

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

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

The inverse has been reflected over which line?

• y = x
• y =1
• y = 0
• y = x + 1

When finding the inverse of a relation, 
1st you replace f(x) with y
2nd switch the x's and y's
What do you do next?

• solve for y
• replace y with f^-1(x)
• solve for x
• find the greatest common factor

Given that f(x) = 3x + 5 and g(x) = 1/3x + 5, find f(g(x)).  Are the two functions inverses of each other?

• x + 20 ; Yes they are inverses
• x + 20 ; No, they are not inverses
• x ; Yes they are inverses
• x ; No, they are not inverses

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

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)

Find the inverse of
f(x) = 1/4x - 7

• f^-1(x) = 1/4x + 7/4
• f^-1(x) = -4x + 28
• f^-1(x) = -4x - 7
• f^-1(x) = 4x + 28

What is the best description?

• They are both functions, but not inverse functions.

• They are 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.
