Part 1: Investigate with Desmos. Use Desmos to get a graph of all three equations on one grid for each problem and sketch the results below. 1. 2. Y1 = x Y1 = x Y2= x2 {x > 0} (Note: These brackets restrict the domain in Y2 = (1/5)x + 5 Desmos.)
Y3 = 5(x -5) Y3 = x
3. Y1 = x 4. Y1 = x Y2 = x2 {x < 0} Y2 = x3 Y3 = − x Y3 = 3 x
5. Each of the Y2 and Y3 functions are inverses of each other. What can you say is true about functions that are inverses of each other, graphically? 6. Graph the 3 functions on the same x-y NOTES ABOUT INVERSES coordinate plane. (Without Desmos.) The Idea: An inverse function, f-1(x), “undoes” what f(x) a. the line y = x does to its input. b. f (x) = {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 5), (4, 7), (5,11)} This Means: If you plug a value into f(x), then take that output and plug it into f-1(x), the result will be the c. f −1 (x) = {(2,1), (3, 2), (5, 3), (7, 4), (11, 5)} original input value. EXAMPLE: f(x) = 3x – 5 f-1(x) = (x +5) /3 f(11) = 33 – 5 = 28 f-1(28) = (28 + 5) /3 = 11 Another way to say this is: f-1(f(x)) = x
Rule: To find the inverse of f(x),
a) Rename f(x) with “y” b) Switch x with y in equation c) Solve for y
Facts: • f(x) and f-1(x) are reflections of each other over the line y = x • If f(x) and g(x) are reflections of each other over the line y = x, then f(x) and g(x) are inverses of What happens to a point when you swap the each other. coordinates? • Domain of f(x) = range of f-1(x) AND range of f(x) = domain of f-1(x) • A function must pass the horizontal line test for its inverse to be a function. That is, a function must be one-to-one for its inverse to be a function. • Two functions f and g are inverses of each other if and only if f (g(x)) = x and g( f (x)) = x .
Practice. 1. Given f (x) = 2x − 4 , find f-1(x), and graph f(x) and f-1(x) on the axes below.

f(2) = ________________
f-1(0)=_______________

5. Given the graph of y = m(x) , graph y = m −1 (x) on the same set of axes.
