Math Problem Statement

Find the inverse of the relation: {(14, 10), (19, 10), (13, -3)}

Solution

The problem asks us to find the inverse of the given relation.

Original Relation:

{(14,10),(19,10),(13,3)}\{(14, 10), (19, 10), (13, -3)\}

Finding the Inverse:

The inverse of a relation is obtained by swapping the xx- and yy-coordinates in each ordered pair. Here's the result:

  1. Swap 1414 and 1010: (10,14)(10, 14)
  2. Swap 1919 and 1010: (10,19)(10, 19)
  3. Swap 1313 and 3-3: (3,13)(-3, 13)

Inverse Relation:

{(10,14),(10,19),(3,13)}\{(10, 14), (10, 19), (-3, 13)\}

Related Questions:

  1. What are the characteristics of a function's inverse in terms of ordered pairs?
  2. Can a relation and its inverse both be functions? Explain with an example.
  3. How do you determine whether an inverse relation is also a function?
  4. How is the inverse of a relation represented graphically?
  5. What is the difference between the inverse of a function and the inverse of a relation?

Tip: If the relation involves repeated yy-values, the inverse might not be a function. Always verify by checking if any xx-values repeat in the inverse.
