ONE-TO-ONE FUNCTIONS x – 1 = 3y

Definition: The function f is one-to-one if for any x1 , x2 in 3
the domain of f, f(x1) ≠ f(x2). That is, the same y-value is Therefore, the inverse of f(x)= 3x + 1 is
never paired with two different x-values. f-1(x) = x-1

The term one-to-one relationships refers to relationships
of two items in which one can only belong with the other.
They are a pair.
If we let f-1 (x) = g(x), we can easily verify the results
Horizontal and Vertical Line Tests by applying the above conditions on the inverses of two
functions:
All functions satisfy the vertical line test.
All one-to-one functions satisfy both the vertical and Given: f(x) = 3x + 1

Property of an Inverse Function
INVERSE OF ONE-TO-ONE FUNCTIONS
Given a one-to-one function f(x) and its inverse f-1(x) .
Every one-to-one function has an inverse. Geometrically, Then, the following are true:
the inverse of the function represents the shadow of the a. the inverse of f-1(x) is f(x).
function when they are algebraically interchanged. b. f(f-1(x)) = x for all x in the domain of f-1.
c. f-1(f(x)) = x for all x in the domain of.
A one-to-one function has an inverse if the following
conditions are met:
f[g(x)] = x For all x in the domain of g(x) TRY!
g[f(x)] = x For all x in the domain of f(x) Solve for the inverse of the given one-to-one function and
We denote g(x) by f-1(x) read as (f-inverse)
do composition of functions afterwards.

Example:
1. f(x) = 2x – 1
One-to-one 2𝑥+1
2. 𝑓(𝑥) =
X -2 -1 0 1 2 3 3𝑥−4
Y 4 5 6 7 8 9

Inverse
X 4 5 6 7 8 9
Y -2 -1 0 1 2 3

To find for the inverse of one-to-one function:


a. Write the function in the form y = f(x)
b. Interchange the x and y variables
c. Solve for y in terms of x

Example:
1. f(x) = 3x + 1
Solution:
a. y = 3x + 1
b. x = 3y + 1
c. x = 3y + 1
