Graphing Inverse Functions

Here are the graphs of the inverse functions: 1. a) f(x) = 2 - 1/4x f^-1(x) = 4(2-x) b) f(x) = (x - 2)^2 + 3; x ≥ 2 f^-1(x) = √(x-3) + 2

GRAPHING INVERSE FUNCTIONS

Prepared by: Monnalisa A. Gimeno


The graphs of a function and its inverse They are symmetrical in the line 𝒚 = 𝒙

are reflections in the line y = x.


𝒇 𝒙
Example:
3
The graph of f x = 4𝑥 + 2 and its 𝒇−𝟏 𝒙
𝑥 3 −2
inverse 𝑓 −1 𝑥 =
4

The ordered pairs of f are given by the


3
equation f x = 4𝑥 + 2.

The ordered pairs of the inverse are given


𝑥 3 −2
by𝑓 −1 𝑥 = .
4 The graphs of the function and its inverse are
symmetrical.
𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙)
The graph of a
function and its (8,8)
inverse are mirror
images about the line (4,4)

y=x (0,0)

STEPS IN GRAPHING INVERSE
FUNCTIONS

• Remember how to graph basic functions


• Create a table of values of the original function.
• For the inverse function, interchange the table of values of the
original function.
• Plot the points and graph in one cartesian plane.
• Draw the line of symmetry

Is it possible to make a many-to-one functions a one-to-one
function, so an inverse does exist? 𝟐

It is not one to one 𝒙≤𝟎 𝒙≥𝟎
Restrict domain to x ≥ 0 or 𝒙 ≤ 𝟎
Now function is 1-1 and has an
inverse function
You can make a function 1-1 by
restricting its domain. Such a function
will have an inverse function.

1. Find the inverse and graph them. Proving its one to one and
checking if they are inverse of each other is not necessary.
