Inverse Functions

Inverse Functions. One to one functions. Functions that have inverses Functions have inverses if f(x 1 ) ≠ f(x 2 ) when x 1 ≠ x 2 Graphically you can use the horizontal line test to determine if a function is one to one

  1. Inverse Functions

  2. One to one functions • Functions that have inverses • Functions have inverses if f(x1) ≠ f(x2) when x1 ≠ x2 • Graphically you can use the horizontal line test to determine if a function is one to one - no horizontal line will intersect the graph more than once if the function is one to one

  3. Example: Determine if the following are one to one f(x) = x3 f(x) = x2

  4. Inverse Function f-1 f-1(y) = x f(x) = y Domain of f-1 is the range of f Range of f-1 is the domain of f

  5. Example If f(1) = 5, f(3) = 7, and f(8) = -10, find f-1(7), f-1(5), and f-1(-10)

  6. Example Find the inverse of f(x) = x3 + 2

  7. Drawing the Inverse The graph of f-1 is obtained by reflecting the graph of f about the line y = x On calculator plot f, then use “DRAW” menu, #8 (DrawInv)

  8. Example: • Draw inverse of f(x) = √(-1 – x)

  9. Example Show that the function f(x) = √(x3 + x2 + x + 1) is one to one for both f and f-1
