Math Problem Statement

What is the inverse of {(2, 5), (0, 6), (-3, 4)}?

Solution

To solve the problem shown in the image, we need to find the inverse of the relation {(2,5),(0,6),(3,4)}\{(2, 5), (0, 6), (-3, 4)\}.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Definition of an Inverse Relation: The inverse of a relation is found by swapping the first and second elements in each ordered pair.

  2. Apply the Inversion:

    • For the pair (2,5)(2, 5), its inverse is (5,2)(5, 2).
    • For the pair (0,6)(0, 6), its inverse is (6,0)(6, 0).
    • For the pair (3,4)(-3, 4), its inverse is (4,3)(4, -3).

    So, the inverse relation is: {(5,2),(6,0),(4,3)}\{(5, 2), (6, 0), (4, -3)\}

Answer:

The correct answer is the first option: {(5,2),(6,0),(4,3)}\{(5, 2), (6, 0), (4, -3)\}.

Would you like further clarification on any steps?

Here are five related questions:

  1. What is the inverse of the set {(1,3),(4,2)}\{(1, 3), (4, 2)\}?
  2. How do you determine if a relation has an inverse?
  3. Can all functions have an inverse? Why or why not?
  4. What is the difference between a function and its inverse in graphical terms?
  5. How do you find the inverse of a function algebraically?

Tip: The inverse of a relation may not always be a function unless the original relation passes the horizontal line test (ensuring it’s one-to-one).
