Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the inverse of a relation, the coordinates in each ordered pair are swapped. Given the relation:
The inverse is found by interchanging the x and y values of each pair:
Thus, the inverse is:
Would you like me to explain this process in more detail? Here are five related questions to explore:
- How do you graph a relation and its inverse?
- What is the geometric interpretation of an inverse relation?
- How does the process of finding the inverse differ for a function versus a general relation?
- Can every relation have an inverse? Why or why not?
- How do you verify that two relations are inverses of each other?
Tip: Swapping the coordinates only gives the inverse relation. To determine if the inverse is also a function, apply the vertical line test.
