Graph of Inverse Function

The document discusses inverse functions and provides examples of finding the inverse of a function by reflecting its graph across the line y=x. Specifically: - It gives an example of the inverse of the function y=2x-1 by providing the table of values for the inverse and reflecting the graph of the original function across y=x. - It provides a second example of finding the inverse of the function f(x)=5x-1/-x+2 by writing out the expression for the inverse function and reflecting its graph. - It poses a group activity problem to sketch the graph of the inverse of the function given by the set of points {(6,4),(4,3),(2,
