Understanding Functions and Their Inverses

The video tutorial introduces the concept of functions, explaining their operations, domain, and range. It then delves into inverse functions, demonstrating how to solve for them and their graphical representation. The tutorial emphasizes the relationship between functions and their inverses, highlighting their reflection about the line y = x.

What is the primary purpose of a function in mathematics?
