Lesson
The Inverse of One-to-One
2 Functions
Among the functions, only a one-to-one function has an inverse which is a function
also.
What’s In
So far, you have known different faces of functions in the previous lessons. Likewise,
you have categorized them already into groups of one-to-one and many-to-one
functions. Let’s have a quick review!
Directions: In the first column, identify each of the following as linear function (LF),
quadratic function (QF) or rational function (RF). In the second column, decide
whether each is one-to-one or many-to-one function.
One-to-one or many-toone
Function LF, QF or RF
1. 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥)=2𝑥𝑥+5
2. 𝑔𝑔(𝑥𝑥)=2𝑥𝑥2−4𝑥𝑥+1
3. ℎ(𝑥𝑥)=(𝑥𝑥−1)2−
4. 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥)=2 𝑥𝑥−1
𝑥𝑥+5
5. 𝑔𝑔(𝑥𝑥)=𝑥𝑥
What’s New
Think of a number and multiply it by 2. Then, subtract 1 from it. Now, add 4 to the
difference. Lastly, give me your answer and I’ll tell the number you are thinking of.
Can you tell me how I will know the original number you have chosen by giving me
the final answer?
The key lies in the command “undo”. Familiar with it? Yes, this game follows the
same principle as with the “undo” button we click when we are preparing documents
using our laptops, cellphones or the likes. When you want to bring back how the
document looks like a while ago, you keep clicking this button and the document
Meanwhile, what you did with your chosen number is you multiplied it by 2 and then
added 3 to it. Why 3? Because you subtracted 1 and then added 4 to the number
which is the same as adding 3 to it. Going back to the principle of “undo”, this is how
I guessed your original number by telling me your final answer.
Commands Undo
Step 3. Add 3 to it. (2x + 3) Step 1. Subtract 3 from your answer y. (y – 3)
𝑦𝑦−3
Step 2. Multiply it by 2. (2x) Step 2. Divide it by 2.

Step 1. Think of a number. (x) Answer will be the number you are thinking. (x)
By that way, I have seen your mind and have created a new set of commands. It’s
now your turn to try it with your family members or peer. Experience their oohs and
aahs!

Additional Activities
In real life, can we undo events? Have you experienced any conflict with your
family or peer on concerns like showing respect, being honest and
trustworthy or being helpful and cooperative? What do you do to make
amends? This time try writing a letter to a family member or peer expressing
your regret over an event. Pour out your heart and feel light after then.
To make sure you’ll put smile on their faces, try scoring your letter using the
rubric below:
Criteria 4 3 2 1
Content Focus on actions Involves only Involves only Involves only
(score x 3) to take to resolve three of the two of the four one of the four
the situation; four characteristics characteristics
sincere and polite characteristics cited cited

If you scored your letter and it ranged from 15 to 20, proceed giving your
letter wholeheartedly. If the score you give is below 15, consider revising it
before giving it to your loved one. This is a rare moment, make it count.
