Finding Inverses of Functions

The video tutorial explains how to find inverse functions for given one-to-one functions. It covers the concept of inverse functions, demonstrating with examples of linear and cubic functions. The process involves interchanging x and y variables and solving for y. Graphical verification is used to confirm the correctness of the inverse functions by checking symmetry across the line y = x.

What is the relationship between a function and its inverse?

• They undo each other.

• They are identical.

• They are parallel.

• They are perpendicular.

How can you write the inverse function y = (x + 5) / 3 in another form?

• y = 3x + 5

• y = x / 3 + 5 / 3

• y = (x - 5) / 3

• y = 3 / (x + 5)
