Review

What are relations?

Functions?

What is a one-to-one
function?
Drill

Evaluate the function when…

1. x=1
2. x=3
3. x=5
4. x = -7
5. x = -2
Activity

What word/s can you associate

with the word INVERSE?
 What can you
Activity say about the
inverse of a
function?

Observe the following table of values.

x 2 4 6 8 10
1 3 5 7 9

x 1 3 5 7 9
2 4 6 8 10
Analysis
Find the inverse of the following:
  Operation Inverse
1 Add 8  
2 Subtract 10  
3 Multiply by 5  
4 Divide by 6  
5 Square  
6 Raise to the third power  
7 Fifth root  
8 Fourth root  
Abstraction
A relation reversing the process performed by any function is called
INVERSE of
If f is s one-to-one function, then the inverse of f denoted by is the function
formed by reversing all the ordered pairs in f. Thus,
is in f

Properties of an Inverse Function

If the inverse function exists,
1. is a one-to-one function; f is also one-to-one.
2. Domain of = Range of f.
3. Range of = Domain of f.
Application
Find the inverse of the function .
Solution:
Application

Example 2: f(x)=3x
Example 3:
Seatwork

Example 4: f(x)=2x-4
Example 5: f(x)=2-3x
Example 6:
Evaluation
