1

Name ____________________

( ) 1

b) f

( f (0))

c) f ( f

( 2))

2. Explain why f(x) = x3 + x2 has no inverse.

3. Let L(x) =

1 x 4. 2
b) Find a rule for L-1(x).

a) Sketch the graph of L and L-1.

For numbers 4 and 5 the graph of a function is given. State whether the function has an inverse. 4. 5.

For numbers 6 9, state whether the function f has an inverse. If f 6. f(x) = | x | 2

5 x 2

exists, find a rule for f 8. f(x) =

5 x

( x) .

7. f(x) =

1 x

9. f(x) =

1 1 10. Sketch the graph of g and g . Then find a rule for g ( x ) . g ( x ) = x2 + 2, x 0

Multiple Choice. Circle the correct answer. 11. Which function is the inverse of f ( x ) =
1

1 x +8 ? 5
1

a) f

b) f

1 ( x) = x 8 c) f 5

( x ) = x +40 d) f 5

( x ) =5 x +40

e)

( x ) = x 40 5

12. Which function is the inverse of f(x) = 3x 10? a) f
