6-7 Inverse Relations and Functions

This document discusses inverse relations and functions. It provides examples of finding the inverse of relations and functions by switching the x and y values. It also discusses that the inverse of a function f is written as f-1, and that for two functions to be inverses, f(f-1(x))=x and f-1(f(x))=x must be true. Examples are given of finding the inverse of various relations and functions, including composing inverse functions. Students are assigned practice problems to find additional inverses.
