Inverse Functions

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

• f ^-1(x)
• f ²(x)
• f '(x)
• f ⁺(x)

Which of the following best describes the graph?

• 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.

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

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)

What are the inverse points for the coordinates:

(3, 0) , (2, -4), (5, 5) and (-6,8)

• (3,0) , (2, -4) , (5,5) , (6,8)

• (0,3) , (-4,2) , (5,5) , (8,-6)

• (3,2), (0, -4), (5, -6), (5,8)

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) = 1/4x - 7

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

Find the inverse of the function
f(x) = 3x − 5

• f^-1(x)=3x +5
• f^-1(x)=(x+5)/3
• f^-1(x)=3y-5
• f^-1(x)=3y+5
