Let’s Recall
Shown the mapping diagram below, let 𝑓 be a function that maps 𝑊 values
to the 𝑋 values and let 𝑔 be a function that maps 𝑌 values to 𝑍 values. What
relationships exist between the two values of functions 𝑓 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑔?

same value twice, that is, 2 and 4 in Y mapps 9 in Z.

Let’s Elaborate
In the examples 1-5, there are real-life situations where we can determine
whether the given relation is a function. If it is a function, determine whether it is
one-to-one or not.
Example 1
The relation pairing a GSIS member to his or her GSIS number.
Solution
It is a function since each GSIS member is assigned to a unique GSIS
number. Also, it is a one-to-one function because two different members cannot be
assigned the same GSIS number.
Example 2
The relation pairing a real number to its absolute value.
Solution
It is a function since each real number has a unique absolute value but it is
not a one-to-one function because two different numbers such as 2 and -2 may
have the same absolute value.
Example 3
The relation pairing the locations in Taguig City to its zip code. Taguig City
Postal Code or Zip Code information including location.
Solution
Since each barangay has a unique zip code, thus it is a function. Also, since
no two barangays share the same zip code, hence it is a one-to-one function.
4
Example 4
The relation pairing a distance d (in kilometers) traveled along a given
tricycle route to the tricycle fare for traveling that distance.
Solution
Since each distance traveled along a given tricycle route has an official fare,
thus, it is represented as function. The tricycle fare may be represented by a
piecewise function, as shown below.
9.00 𝑖𝑓 0 < 𝑑 ≤ 4
𝐹(𝑑) = {
9.00 + 1.50⌊𝑑 ⌋ 𝑖𝑓 𝑑 > 4
Note that ⌊𝑑 ⌋ is the floor or greatest integer function applied to 𝑑.
Vertical Line Test. A graph represents a function if and only if each vertical line
intersects the graph at most once.
Note: All one-to-one functions satisfy both the vertical and horizontal line test.
Example
A graph showing the plot of 𝑦 = 3𝑥 2 − 5 fails the horizontal line test because
some lines intersect the graph at more than one point and thus it is not a graph of
one-to-one function, while the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 − 2 shows a one-to-one function
because each horizontal lines intersect the graph at most once.

Activity 2
Given: 𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 1
Complete the table of values using the given function.
𝑥 −4 −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3 4
𝑦 −9
8
Step 1: Write the function in the form 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 5
Step 2: Interchange the x and y variables 𝑥 = 2𝑦 + 5
Step 3: Solve for y in terms of x
Example 2
Solution
Figure at the right is the graph of the original function and its inverse. The
graph of 𝑓 is symmetric to the graph of 𝑓 −1 along the line 𝑦 = 𝑥 (dashed line).
Example 3
3𝑥−1
Find the inverse of the rational function 𝑓(𝑥) = .
2𝑥−5
Solution
Step 1: Write the function in the form y = f(x) 𝟑𝒙 − 𝟏
𝒚 =
𝟐𝒙 − 𝟓
Step 2: Interchange the x and y variables 𝟑𝒚 − 𝟏
𝒙 =
𝟐𝒚 − 𝟓

Step 3: Solve for y in terms of x
2𝑥𝑦 – 3𝑦 = 5𝑥 − 1 Grouping terms with variable 𝑦 in the right and 𝑥 in the left
𝟑𝒙−𝟏 𝟓𝒙−𝟏
Therefore the inverse of 𝑓(𝑥) = is 𝑓 −1 (𝑥) = .
𝟐𝒙−𝟓 𝟐𝒙−𝟑
Example 4
Solution
±√𝑥 2

2
In this function, for each values of x corresponds to two values of y, hence, it
is not a function. Therefore 𝑓(𝑥) has no inverse function.
Alternate Solution. We can also show that 𝑓 −1 does not exist by showing that 𝑓 is
not one-to-one. Note that 𝑓(1) = 𝑓(−1) = 2. Since the x-values 1 and -1 are paired
to the same y-value, then f is not one-to-one and it cannot have an inverse.
If you will try to check whether the two fuctions are inverse with each other,
then show that 𝑓 ° 𝑓 −1 = 𝑓(𝑓 −1 (𝑥)) = 𝑥. This concept is known as composite
function.
Example 5
𝒙−𝟏
Determine algebraically whether 𝑓 (𝑥) = 3𝑥 + 1 and 𝑓 −1 (𝑥) = are inverses
𝟑
of each other.
10
Solution
We will verify 𝑓(𝑓 −1 (𝑥)) = 𝑥
𝒙−𝟏
𝑓(𝑓 −1 (𝑥)) = 𝑓( )
𝟑
𝒙−𝟏
= 3( ) +𝟏
𝟑
=𝑥−1+1
=𝑥
𝒙−𝟏
Thus, 𝑓 (𝑥) = 3𝑥 + 1 and 𝑓 −1 (𝑥) = are inverses of each other.
𝟑
The outputs of the function 𝑓 are the inputs to 𝑓 −1 so the range of 𝑓 is also
the domain of 𝑓 −1 . Likewise, the inputs to 𝑓 are the outputs of 𝑓 −1 , so the domain
of 𝑓 is the range of 𝑓 −1 . To illustrate, the situation.
Domain of 𝒇 f Range of 𝒇
a b
Example 6
Given: 𝑓: (1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5), (4, 6)
The domain of 𝑓 is 1, 2, 3, 4 and the range of 𝑓 is 3, 4, 5, and 6. Now, the
inverse of 𝑓 is 𝑓 −1 : (3, 1), (4, 2), (5, 3), (6, 4). Thus, the domain of 𝑓 −1 is 3, 4, 5, and 6
and the range of 𝑓 −1 is 1, 2, 3, 1nd 4
Example 7

one-to-one function, construct the table of values of the inverse.
