Inverse of Functions

An inverse function undoes another function by taking the output of the original function and producing the corresponding input. A function has an inverse if it is invertible, meaning each element in the range corresponds to only one element in the domain, making it one-to-one. Not all functions have inverses. Examples of inverse functions include inverse operations like division being the inverse of multiplication, and the square root function being the inverse of squaring when the domain is non-negative numbers to make squaring one-to-one.

Inverse Of Functions

Inverse Of Functions An inverse function is a function that undoes another function: If an input x into the function produces an output y, then putting y into the inverse function g produces the output x, and vice versa. i.e., (x)=y, and g(y)=x. More directly, g((x))=x, meaning g(x) composed with (x) leaves x unchanged. A function that has an inverse is called invertible; the inverse function is then uniquely determined by and is denoted by 1 (read f inverse, not to be confused with exponentiation). Definitions :The word inverse is related to the word invert meaning to reverse, turn upside down, to do the opposite. Instead of considering the inverses for individual inputs and outputs, one can think of the function as sending the whole set of inputs, the domain, to a set of outputs, the range.

Let be a function whose domain is the set X, and whose range is the set Y. Then is invertible if there exists a function g with domain Y and range X, with the property: If is invertible, the function g is unique; in other words, there can be at most one function g satisfying this property. That function g is then called the inverse of , denoted by 1. Stated otherwise, a function is invertible if and only if its inverse relation is a function on the range Y, in which case the inverse relation is the inverse function. Not all functions have an inverse. For this rule to be applicable, each element y Y must correspond to no more than one x X; a function with this property is called one-to-one, or information-preserving, or an injection. Example: inverse operations that lead to inverse functions Inverse operations are the opposite of direct variation functions. Direct variation function are based on multiplication; y = kx. The opposite operation of multiplication is division and an inverse variation function is y = k/x. Example: squaring and square root functions The function (x) = x2 may or may not be invertible, depending on the domain. If the domain is the real numbers, then each element in Y would correspond to two different elements in X (x), and therefore would not be invertible. More precisely, the square of x is not invertible because it is impossible to deduce from its output the sign of its input. Such a function is called non-injective or information-losing.

Notice that neither the square root nor the principal square root function is the inverse of x2 because the first is not single-valued, and the second returns -x when x is negative. If the domain consists of the non-negative numbers, then the function is injective and invertible.
