The video tutorial explains how to determine if two functions are inverses by checking if the composition of the functions equals the identity function in both orders. It provides multiple examples, including quadratic, linear, rational, and cubic functions, to illustrate the process of verifying inverse relationships.

What is the main criterion to determine if two functions are inverses of each other?

• Their graphs intersect at the origin.

• They are both linear functions.

• Their compositions equal the identity function.

• They have the same domain.
