find the inverse functions

find the inverse functions

Solution

To find the inverse of a function, let's denote the function as f(x)f(x) and follow these general steps:

  1. Replace f(x)f(x) with yy: Write y=f(x)y = f(x).
  2. Switch xx and yy: Replace yy with xx and xx with yy.
  3. Solve for yy: Rearrange the equation to isolate yy in terms of xx.
  4. Rewrite as f1(x)f^{-1}(x): The resulting expression for yy is the inverse function f1(x)f^{-1}(x).

If you can specify the function(s) from your image or provide details on the types of functions, I’ll walk you through the inverse calculations for each one.

Here are some questions related to finding inverse functions:

  1. What is an inverse function, and how does it relate to the original function?
  2. What types of functions do not have inverses?
  3. How does the graphical representation of a function and its inverse differ?
  4. How do you verify if two functions are inverses of each other?
  5. What role does the horizontal line test play in determining if a function has an inverse?

Tip: Always remember that only one-to-one functions have inverses that are also functions.
