Inverse Functions and Their Graphs

This lesson covers inverse functions, focusing on one-to-one correspondence and line tests. It explains how to determine if a function is one-to-one using vertical and horizontal line tests. The lesson also introduces function composition and demonstrates how to evaluate compositions. Finally, it provides a guide on graphing inverse functions by switching ordered pairs and using the line of reflection y = x.

What is a key characteristic of a one-to-one function?

• Each element of the domain corresponds to multiple elements in the range.

• It has repeating values in the domain.

• It fails the vertical line test.

• Each element of the domain corresponds to exactly one element in the range.

Which line test must a function pass to be considered one-to-one?

• Neither vertical nor horizontal line tests

• Vertical line test only

• Horizontal line test only

• Both vertical and horizontal line tests

How do you evaluate the composition h(g(5)) given g(x) = 2x and h(x) = x^2 + 3?

• Add the results of g(5) and h(5)

• Multiply the results of g(5) and h(5)

• Plug 5 into g, then into h

• Plug 5 into h, then into g
