or each of the following graphs determine if the inverse of the function is also a function.

To determine whether the inverse of a function is also a function, we can use the **horizontal line test**:

- A function has an inverse that is also a function if **no horizontal line intersects the graph of the original function more than once**.
- If a horizontal line crosses the graph more than once, the inverse will not be a function because this implies that the original function takes the same output for different inputs.

### How to apply the **horizontal line test**:
1. Draw or imagine a horizontal line at any point across the graph.
2. Check if the line touches the graph more than once.
   - If it does, then the inverse is **not a function**.
   - If it only touches once everywhere, then the inverse **is a function**.

Feel free to upload the graph images if you'd like me to directly evaluate them for you. Otherwise, based on the description of the graph (if provided), I can help determine if the inverse is a function.

Let me know if you'd like more details or clarifications.

5. What is the role of symmetry in determining if a function's inverse is also a function?

**Tip:** Always check the domain and range of the function before determining the inverse, as it may affect the validity of the inverse.

For each of the following graphs, determine if the inverse of the function is also a function.

Learn how to determine whether the inverse of a function is also a function by applying the horizontal line test. This method helps you analyze a graph to see if any horizontal line intersects it more than once, indicating whether its inverse can also be classified as a function.
