Inverse Functions

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

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

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
