Go Gryffindor!Inverses
InversesThe inverse of a function is the function flipped about the line y=x
The red graph shows the inverse to the blue graph (the dotted green line shows the line y=x)
To find the inverse of a function You switch the variables x and yThen you solve for y
When solving for an inverseMake sure to remember plus and minusesWhen you find a function’s inverse often the resulting graph is not a function so you must remember all of the parts of the graph
