Finding the inverse using
function notation
What is the Inverse of a function?
In mathematics, an inverse function is
a function that "reverses" another
function. That is, if f is a function
mapping x to y, then the inverse
function of f maps y back to x.
Inverse Notation
When the relation is also a function, f(x),
you can write the inverse of the f(x) as
Now solve for y
Now that was easy
How to find the inverse of a function
How to find the inverse of a function:
STEP 1: Stick "y" in for the "f(x)."
STEP 2: Switch the x and y.
STEP 3: Solve for y.
STEP 4: Replace y with
THEN, CHECK IT!
