If f and g are inverse functions, and
f(2) = -1     g(1) = -2     f(1) = -2, 
then which of the following MUST be true?

• g(-2) = -1

• g(2) = 1

• g(-2) = 1

• g(1) = 2

What is the best description?

• They are both functions, but not 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.

• They are inverse functions.

The inverse of the function f(x) is written as ...

• f ^-1(x)

• f ²(x)

• f '(x)

• f ⁺(x)

The inverse has been reflected over which line?

• y = x

• x = 0

• y = 0

• x = -y

Which of the following best describes the graph?

• They are both functions, but not 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.

• They are inverse functions.

Which of the following is NOT TRUE about inverse functions?

• Inverse functions are reflections of each other over the line y = x.

• You find the inverse by switching x and y in the equation.

• The domain of a function becomes the domain of its inverse.

• The domain of a function becomes the range of its inverse.

What is f^-1(x)?

• f^-1(x) = 4x - 3

• f^-1(x) = -1/4x - 3

• f^-1(x) = 1/4x + 3

• f^-1(x) = -4x - 3

Which of the following best describes the graph?

• 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.

Which is f ^-1(x)?

• f ^-1(x) = 5x + 3

• f ^-1(x) = 5x - 3

• f ^-1(x) = 5x - 15

• f ^-1(x) = 1/5(x) + 3/5

Find the inverse.

f(x)=2x-2      

• f^-1(x)=1/2x+1

• f^-1(x)=-2-1/2x

• f^-1(x)=-7/3x-20/3

• 2-2/5x
