Inverse Function Processes and Steps

The video tutorial covers the concept of finding inverses of nonlinear functions. It begins with an introduction to the topic, followed by detailed steps to find inverse functions. The instructor provides two example problems, demonstrating the process of switching variables and solving for the inverse. The video concludes with a request for feedback and encourages viewers to identify any mistakes.

What is the first step in finding the inverse of a nonlinear function?
