Finding and Graphing Inverse Functions

What is the equation that the inverse will reflect across?

• y = x
• y = 0
• x = 0
• Potato

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

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

How are the graphs of a function and its inverse related?

• The graphs are symmetric about the y-axis.

• The graphs are symmetric about the x-axis.

• The graphs are symmetric about the line y = x.

• The graphs are identical.

What is the first step in finding the equation of the inverse of a function?

• get x by itself
• switch x and y
• solve for y
• write the function in inverse function notation

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)

Find the inverse of f(x) = -4x - 12

• f^-1(x) = 4x - 3
• f^-1(x) = -1/4x - 3
• f^-1(x) = 1/4x + 3
• f^-1(x) = -4x - 3

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

Are the following inverses of each other?

• True
• False
