Math Problem Statement
Solution
To graph the inverse of the given function , we need to reflect the graph of across the line . This means swapping the - and -coordinates of each point on the graph of . Let’s break down the process:
-
Identify key points on the graph of . From the image, I can roughly estimate the following points on the graph of :
-
Swap the coordinates of each point to get the points on the inverse function :
-
Plot these new points:
- Plot
- Plot
- Plot
- Plot
- Plot
-
Draw the graph: Connect these points smoothly to represent the inverse function. The graph should resemble the original function but flipped across the line .
