Let f ( x) = x 2 Then the inverse function is f −1 ( y) = √y To find the inverse: 1. Switch x and y: y = x 2 2. Isolate y: √y = x 3. Switch x and y again: f −1 ( y) = √y The domain of the original function becomes the range of the inverse function. The range of the original function becomes the domain of the inverse function. If a function has an inverse, the inverse of the inverse is the original function. Practice Problems: Find the inverse functions. 1. f ( x) = 3x + 5

Relation A rule of correspondence involving two quantities.

Function A relation that matches each item Example:

* Functions are represented in four ways:


verbally, numerically, graphically, and
analytically.
