Inverse Functions (ordered pairs and graphs)

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

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.

What is the inverse of the given coordinates: (1, 2) (3, 8) (-3, 6)

• (1, 2) (3, 8) (-3, 6)
• (1, 2) (8, 3) (-3, 6)
• (-1, -2) (-3, -8) (3, -6)
• (2, 1) (8, 3) (6, -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)

If f^-1(-25) = 7 then what is f(7) = 

• 25
• 7
• No enough information. 
• -25

Are these the graphs of two inverse functions?

• Yes
• No
• No way to tell

f(x) goes through the ordered pairs (-2,0) and (2,4).

Drag the points to create a graph of the INVERSE of f(x) using this information.

(think about what ordered pairs the inverse must go through)

Answer explanation

The inverse of f(x) must go through the ordered pairs (0,-2) and (4,2).
