INVERSES
To find the inverse of a function, simply switch the x and the y and solve for the new "y" value.
Recall f¹(x) is defined as the inverse of f(x)
Example 1:
f(x)=√√x+1
y = √√x+1
= √√/y+1
(x)³ =(√y+1)
x³ =y+l
y=x³ -1
f'(x)=x³-1
X =
23. f(x)=2x+1
5
x-2
Rewrite f(x) as y
Switch x and y
Find the inverse for each function.
25. g(x)=-
Solve for your new y
Cube both sides
Simplify
Solve for y
Rewrite in inverse notation
28. Explain how the graphs of ƒ(x) and ƒ˜¹(x) compare.
ƒ-¹(x)
8
24. f(x) =
f(x)
27. If the graph of f(x) has the point (2, 7) then what is one point that will be on the graph of f¹(x)?
26. y=√√4-x+1
