Problems 1–4: Finding the inverse of relations
For these, we are given a set of ordered pairs, and to find the inverse, we simply swap the coordinates of each pair.
1. a = {(4,5), (-4,5), (2,3), (-2,3)}
- Inverse:
2. b = {(0,-1), (2,-3), (-5,1), (-4,5)}
- Inverse:
3. c = {(1,4), (2,8), (3,12), (4,16)}
- Inverse:
4. d = {(A,5), (K,9), (O,5), (Z,9)}
- Inverse:
Problems 5–8: Finding the inverse of functions
To find the inverse of a function, we solve for in terms of and then switch the roles of and .

Problems 9–10: Given
To find the inverse, swap the coordinates:
For the graph, you would plot both sets of points and on the same plane. will map the -coordinates to the -coordinates, and will be the reflection of these points across the line .
Would you like more details on any of these solutions or assistance with graphing?
Here are 5 related questions:
- What are the conditions for a function to have an inverse?
- Can a relation with repeated -values have an inverse?
- How do you verify if two functions are inverses of each other?
- What is the graphical significance of a function's inverse?
- How can you algebraically check if an inverse function is correct?
Tip: When graphing functions and their inverses, the line acts as a mirror, meaning the function and its inverse will be symmetric about this line.
