Finding the Inverse of Linear Functions

The video tutorial introduces the concept of inverses of functions, explaining how to evaluate expressions and solve equations using inverse operations. It covers the notation and understanding of inverse functions, including their graphical representation as reflections across the y=x line. The tutorial also details the steps to find inverse equations and highlights the relationship between the domain and range of functions and their inverses.

What is the primary goal when evaluating an expression?

• To graph the function

• To simplify the equation

• To determine the value of the expression

• To find the variable

What is the first step in solving for x in an equation?

• Add a constant to both sides

• Subtract a constant from both sides

• Multiply both sides by a constant

• Isolate the variable

What does the inverse notation f^(-1) represent?

• The derivative of the function

• The function that undoes the original function

• The function raised to the power of -1

• The reciprocal of the function

What is the relationship between a function and its inverse in terms of operations?

• They add to each other

• They perform the same operations

• They undo each other's operations

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

• They are reflected about the y-axis

• They are parallel to each other

• They intersect at the origin

• They are reflected about the line y = x

What happens to the coordinate points when finding the inverse of a function?

• They remain the same

• They are swapped
