Find the Inverse with Inherited Restrictions

The video tutorial covers the concept of function restrictions, focusing on implied domains and their impact on the range of inverse functions. It explains how to visualize graphs and find inverse functions both graphically and algebraically. The tutorial also demonstrates using graphing tools like Desmos to verify domain restrictions and emphasizes the relationship between the range of a function and the domain of its inverse.

What is the implied domain of the function sqrt(X + 2)?

• All real numbers

• X > -2

• X < -2

• X >= 0

When finding the inverse of a function, why is it important to show your work?

• To make the process faster

• To avoid mistakes

• To use less paper

• To impress others

What is the inverse of the function X^2 - 2?

• sqrt(X + 2)

• sqrt(X - 2)

• X^2 + 2

• X^2 - 2

What transformation occurs when you reflect a function about the X-axis?

• Vertical stretch

• Reflection about the Y-axis

• Horizontal shift

• Reflection about the X-axis

Which portion of a quadratic function is typically used for its inverse?

• The entire function

• The positive portion

• The negative portion

• The even portion

Why might graphing technology be necessary for understanding some inverse functions?

• To avoid using algebra

• To visualize complex transformations

• To save time

• To make graphs look nicer

What is the domain restriction for the inverse of a function with a range of all positive values?

• X = 0

• X < 0

• X <= 0

• X > 0

What is the inverse of the function 1 / X^2 + 1?

• 1 / X^2 - 1

• 1 / (X^2 + 1)

• 1 / (X^2 - 1)

• X^2 - 1

What is the relationship between the range of a function and the domain of its inverse?

• The range of the function becomes the domain of the inverse

• They are unrelated

• They are always equal

• The domain of the function becomes the range of the inverse

How does the range of a function affect the domain of its inverse?

• It makes the domain of the inverse positive

• It doesn't affect it

• It determines the domain of the inverse

• It makes the domain of the inverse negative
