  2. 5.1 Inverse Functions Example Also, f[g(12)] = 12. For these functions, it can be shown that for any value of x. These functions are inverse functions of each other.

  3. 5.1 One-to-One Functions A function f is a one-to-onefunction if, for elements a and b from the domain of f, a b implies f(a)  f(b). • Only functions that are one-to-one have inverses.

  4. 5.1 One-to-One Functions Example Decide whether the function is one-to-one. (a) (b) Solution (a) For this function, two different x-values produce two different y-values. (b) If we choose a = 3 and b = –3, then 3  –3, but

  5. 5.1 The Horizontal Line Test If every horizontal line intersects the graph of a function at no more than one point, then the function is one-to-one. Example Use the horizontal line test to determine whether the graphs are graphs of one-to-one functions. (a) (b) One-to-one Not one-to-one

  6. 5.1 Inverse Functions Let f be a one-to-one function. Then, g is the inversefunction of f and f is the inverse of g if Example are inverse functions of each other.

  7. 5.1 Finding an Equation for the Inverse Function • Notation for the inverse function f-1 is read “f-inverse” Finding the Equation of the Inverse of y = f(x) 1. Interchange x and y. 2. Solve for y. 3. Replace y with f-1(x). Any restrictions on x and y should be considered.

  8. 5.1 Example of Finding f-1(x) Example Find the inverse, if it exists, of Solution Write f(x) = y. Interchange x and y. Solve for y. Replace y with f-1(x).

  9. 5.1 The Graph of f-1(x) • f and f-1(x) are inverse functions, and f(a) = b for real numbers a and b. Then f-1(b) = a. • If the point (a,b) is on the graph of f, then the point (b,a) is on the graph of f-1. If a function is one-to-one, the graph of its inverse f -1(x) is a reflection of the graph of f across the line y = x.

  10. 5.1 Finding the Inverse of a Function with a Restricted Domain Example Let Solution Notice that the domain of f is restricted to [–5,), and its range is [0, ). It is one-to-one and thus has an inverse. The range of f is the domain of f-1, so its inverse is

  11. 5.1 Important Facts About Inverses • If f is one-to-one, then f-1 exists. • The domain of f is the range of f-1, and the range of f is the domain of f-1. • If the point (a,b) is on the graph of f, then the point (b,a) is on the graph of f-1, so the graphs of f and f-1 are reflections of each other across the line y = x.

  12. 5.1 Application of Inverse Functions Example Use the one-to-one function f(x) = 3x + 1 and the numerical values in the table to code the message BE VERY CAREFUL. A 1 F 6 K 11 P 16 U 21 B 2 G 7 L 12 Q 17 V 22 C 3 H 8 M 13 R 18 W 23 D 4 I 9 N 14 S 19 X 24 E 5 J 10 O 15 T 20 Y 25 Z 26 Solution BE VERY CAREFUL would be encoded as 7 16 67 16 55 76 10 4 55 16 19 64 37 because B corresponds to 2, and f(2) = 3(2) + 1 = 7, and so on.
