Understanding Inverse Functions

The video tutorial explains inverse functions, which are essentially the opposite of original functions. It covers how to identify inverse functions using a negative one notation, provides examples to illustrate the concept, and demonstrates how inverse functions can be visualized on graphs. The tutorial emphasizes the flipping of x and y values in inverse functions and concludes with a summary of key points.

What does the term 'inverse' imply in the context of functions?

• A function that is identical to the original

• A function that is divided by its variable

• A function that is flipped or opposite

• A function that is multiplied by two

How can you recognize an inverse function notation?

• By a division sign

• By a negative one on top

• By a multiplication sign

• By a plus sign

In a table, if the original function gives an output of 60 for an input of 10, what would the inverse function do?

• Output 0 for an input of 60

• Output 20 for an input of 60

• Output 60 for an input of 10

• Output 10 for an input of 60

When dealing with graphs, how do you find the inverse function?

• By rotating the graph 90 degrees

• By flipping the x and y values

• By doubling the y values

• By halving the x values

If the original graph has a point (-3, -7), what would be the corresponding point on the inverse graph?

• (3, -7)

• (-3, 7)

• (-7, -3)

• (7, 3)

What happens to the x and y values in an inverse function?

• They remain the same

• They are flipped

• They are added together

• They are multiplied by each other

In the context of inverse functions, what does the notation f^(-1)(x) signify?

• The function is doubled

• The function is halved

• The function is inverted

• The function is squared

If the inverse function gives an output of 2 for an input of 2, what does this indicate?

• The function is linear

• The function is its own inverse

• The function is quadratic

• The function is not invertible

What is the relationship between the original function and its inverse on a graph?

• They are identical

• They are parallel

• They are reflections over the line y=x

• They are perpendicular

What is the key takeaway about inverse functions from the tutorial?

• Inverse functions are complex and hard to understand

• Inverse functions are always linear

• Inverse functions are only applicable to quadratic equations

• Inverse functions involve flipping the input and output values
