Math Problem Statement

The graph of the function h(x) is given. Create the graph of the inverse function h^{-1}(x).

Solution

The image you provided shows the graph of a function h(x)h(x) and asks to create the graph of its inverse h1(x)h^{-1}(x).

Steps to find the graph of the inverse:

  1. Reflection over the line y=xy = x: The graph of the inverse function is a reflection of the original function h(x)h(x) over the line y=xy = x.

  2. Exchange the coordinates: If a point (a,b)(a, b) lies on the graph of h(x)h(x), then the point (b,a)(b, a) will be on the graph of h1(x)h^{-1}(x).

To create the graph of h1(x)h^{-1}(x):

  • Identify the key points on the graph of h(x)h(x).
  • Swap the x- and y-coordinates for each key point to get corresponding points on the graph of the inverse.

Would you like a further explanation or the graphical creation of h1(x)h^{-1}(x) based on these principles? Feel free to share additional details for a more tailored solution.
