Inverse Functions and Their Properties

The video tutorial covers the concept of inverse functions, focusing on verifying them through composition. It explains how to determine if two functions are inverses by plugging one into the other and simplifying to x. The tutorial includes examples with linear, quadratic, and square root functions, demonstrating both successful and unsuccessful verifications. It also discusses ordered pairs, highlighting how the domain and range switch in inverse functions, and differentiates between functions and relations.

What is the main method used to verify if two functions are inverses of each other?

• Checking the domain and range

• Solving equations

• Using composition of functions

• Graphing the functions

When verifying inverse functions, what should the composition of the functions simplify to?

• 0

• x

In the context of inverse functions, what happens to the ordered pairs?

• They are doubled

• They are squared

What is the result when you square a square root in the context of verifying inverse functions?

• The original number

• A complex number

• Zero

• A negative number

If a function maps one input to multiple outputs, what is it considered?

• A function

• A relation

• An inverse
