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

Module 12
Do you ever wonder if inverses of these functions are functions as well? Well, both
the original equation and its inverse are both functions. In this lesson, you will delve
into these functions with function inverses.

Notes to the Teacher


Solutions should be provided for exercises which will not be
successfully answered by the learners especially for “What I Can
Do” Part.

What’s New

I Can See Your Mind


Let’s have a mind game. Ready?

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

5 CO_Q1_General Mathematics SHS


Module 12
gradually goes back to its previous layout. It keeps deleting the changes you do to
the document one by one from the most recent to the earliest change you made.

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.
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!

What is It

Inverse Function Defined


The inverse of a function is a function with domain B and range A given that the
original function has domain A and range B.

This inverse function of function 𝑓𝑓 is denoted by 𝑓𝑓−1. It is defined by the equation


𝑓𝑓−1(𝑦𝑦) = 𝑥𝑥 if and only if 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) = 𝑦𝑦 for any y in range B. Since both are functions,
then a function has to be one-to-one for its inverse to be a function at the same time.
If it is a many-to-one function, its inverse is one-to-many which is not a function.

How to Find the Inverse of One-to-one Function


Intuitively, the inverse of a function may be known by the principle of “undo”. That
is, by considering the inverses of the operations performed, the inverse of a function
may be computed easily.

Example 1
Given 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) = 3𝑥𝑥 – 8, the inverse of a function may be solved intuitively.
Solution:

6 CO_Q1_General Mathematics SHS


Module 12
Steps In symbols
Step 1. The last operation performed is subtraction, the inverse
x+8
operation of which is addition. To x, add 8.
Step 2. The second to the last operation performed is 𝑥𝑥 + 8
multiplication, the inverse operation of which is division. Divide
x + 8 by 3. 3
Step 3. Equate it to 𝑓𝑓−1(𝑥𝑥) to denote that it is the inverse 𝑥𝑥 + 8
function of 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) = 3𝑥𝑥 – 8. 𝑓𝑓−1(𝑥𝑥) =
3
However, it is not that easy in some cases. In later examples, you will understand
what I mean by saying that there is a more general method that may be followed.

To find the inverse of a one-to-one function, consider the following steps:


a. Express the function in the form 𝑦𝑦 = 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥);
b. Interchange the x and y variables in the equation;
c. Solve for y in terms of x.

Example 2

If it exists, solve for the inverse of 𝑔𝑔(𝑥𝑥) = 𝑥𝑥2 – 6𝑥𝑥 – 7.

Solution:

Recognize that 𝑔𝑔(𝑥𝑥) is a quadratic function whose graph is a parabola opening


upward. It fails the horizontal line test because it has x-values which correspond to
the same y-value. And since it is not a one-to-one function, then its inverse is not a
function. Simply put, it has no inverse function.

Alternate Solution:

𝑦𝑦 = 𝑥𝑥2 – 6𝑥𝑥 – 7 (change g(x) to y)

𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦𝑦2 – 6𝑦𝑦 – 7 (interchange x and y)

𝑦𝑦2 – 6𝑦𝑦 = 𝑥𝑥 + 7 (solve for y, APE)

𝑦𝑦2 – 6𝑦𝑦 + 9 = 𝑥𝑥 + 7 + 9 (solve for y, by completing the square, by APE)

(𝑦𝑦 − 3)2 = 𝑥𝑥 + 16 (solve for y, by factoring)

𝑦𝑦 (solve for y, by getting the square root of both sides)

𝑦𝑦 (solve for y, by APE)

7 CO_Q1_General Mathematics SHS


Module 12
Notice that for some values of x, there are two values of y. For instance, if x=1, 𝑦𝑦 =
and 𝑦𝑦 . Therefore, the inverse function of 𝑔𝑔(𝑥𝑥) does not exist.

Example 3

Find the inverse of the rational function ℎ(𝑥𝑥) = 4 𝑥𝑥+8.

𝑥𝑥−3 𝑥𝑥−4

Solution:
4𝑥𝑥+8
𝑦𝑦 = (change g(x) to y)
𝑥𝑥−3
4𝑦𝑦+8
𝑥𝑥 = (interchange x and y)
𝑦𝑦−3

𝑥𝑥𝑦𝑦 − 3𝑥𝑥 = 4𝑦𝑦 + 8 (solve for y, MPE)

𝑥𝑥𝑦𝑦 − 4𝑦𝑦 = 3𝑥𝑥 + 8 (solve for y, by APE)

𝑦𝑦(𝑥𝑥 − 4) = 3𝑥𝑥 + 8 (solve for y, by factoring)


3𝑥𝑥+8
𝑦𝑦 = (solve for y, by MPE)
𝑥𝑥−4

ℎ−1(𝑥𝑥) = 3 (the inverse function)
