MR . Ghaith Atef
In real-world applications, the function that describes a physical situation is not always given.
Finding the function is an important part of solving problems. For example, scientific data such as
observations of planetary motion are often collected as a set of measurements
presented in a table. One job for a scientist is to figure out
which function best fits the data.
𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐
𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − 𝑠)(𝑥 − 𝑡)
𝑦 =𝑎 𝑥−ℎ 2+𝑘
Steps for Finding the Inverse of a
One-to-One Function

y = f -1(x)

Solve for y

Trade x and
y places

Replace f(x)
with y
Given the function : y = 3x2 + 2 find the inverse:

Step 1: Switch x and y: x = 3y2 + 2


Step 2: Solve for y:

±
On the same axes, sketch the graph of
y = ( x − 2) ,
2
x2
and its inverse.

Solution: y=x
( 4, 4 )
x
(1, 3)
( 0, 2 )
( 3, 1)
( 2, 0 )
