Graphs of Inverse Functions

This document discusses how to graph inverse functions by reflecting the graph of the original function about the line y=x. It explains that the inverse of a function f sends the y-values of points in f(x) back to x. To graph the inverse, we first need to apply the horizontal line test to verify the original function is one-to-one, then reflect its graph across the line y=x to obtain the graph of the inverse.

OBJECTIVES

• Represent an inverse function through its graph


• Find the domain and range of an inverse function
• Graph inverse functions
ACTIVITY
• The coordinates of points in a graph of the inverse of a one-to-one function
are the coordinates of points in the original function with the x and y-
coordinates interchanged.
• Recall that f and𝑓 −1 satisfy the property that 𝑓 −1 (f(x)) = x. This means that
the inverse of 𝑓 −1 (x) sends the y-values of points in f(x) back to x.

f(x) 𝑓 −1 (x)

Relationship Between the Graphs of a
Function and Its Inverse
• First we need to ascertain that the given graph corresponds to a one-to-one
function by applying the horizontal line test. If it passes the test, the
corresponding function is one-to-one.
GRAPHING INVERSE FUNCTIONS
• Given the graph of a one-to-one function, the graph of its inverse can be
obtained by reflecting the graph about the line y=x
