HELPFUL GRAPHICS:
If a function f is one-to-one with domain A and range B, then there is a one-to-one function f –1, the inverse of f, with domain B and range A.
To find an inverse function:
Step 1: Switch x and y.
Step 2: Solve for y.
Step 3: Replace y with f –1(x).
A quick, visual way to determine if a function will have an inverse that is also a function.
If a function passes this test, it is "one-to-one."
Two functions, f (x) and g(x), are inverse functions if f (g(x)) = x for every value of x in the domain of g, and g(f (x)) = x for every value of x in the domain of f.
