Understanding Inverse Functions and Graphs

The video tutorial explains how to interpret a graph of a function and its inverse. It begins by introducing the graph of y = f(x) and poses a question about finding the value of f inverse of two. The instructor clarifies the concept of inverse functions, demonstrating how to find f inverse of two by identifying the corresponding x value when f(x) equals two. The tutorial then guides viewers on sketching the graph of the inverse function by swapping x and y coordinates of points on the original graph. The inverse graph is shown to be a reflection about the line y = x.
