Math Problem Statement
A function f(x)f(x) includes the points (2, 3)(2, 3), (−5, 1)(−5, 1), and (10, −3)(10, −3) in its graph. Based on this, which of the following points must be included in the graph of f−1(x)f−1(x)?
Solution
To determine which points must be included in the graph of (the inverse of the function ), we use the fact that the inverse function swaps the - and -coordinates of each point on the graph of .
Given the points on :
The points on the graph of will be:
- (from )
- (from )
- (from )
Thus, the points that must be included in the graph of are:
