InversesWhen we go from an output of a function back to its input or inputs, we get an inverse relation. When that relation is a function, we have an inverse function.
Interchanging the first and second coordinates of each ordered pair in a relation produces the inverse relation.
Consider the relation h given as follows: h = {(-8, 5), (4, -2), (-7, 1), (3.8, 6.2)}.The inverse of the relation h is given as follows: {(5, -8), (-2, 4), (1, -7), (6.2, 3.8)}.
Inverse RelationInterchanging the first and second coordinates of each ordered pair in a relation produces the inverse relation.

ExampleConsider the relation g given by g = {(2, 4), (–1, 3), (-2, 0)}.Graph the relation in blue. Find the inverse and graph it in red.
Solution: The relation g is shown in blue. The inverse of the relation is {(4, 2), (3, –1), (0, -2)} and is shown in red. The pairs in the inverse are reflections of the pairs in g across the line y = x.

Inverse Relation
If a relation is defined by an equation, interchanging the variables produces an equation of the inverse relation.
This graphing program will show the graph f(x) and trace its reflection about a straight line. http://cfcc.edu/mathlab/geogebra/function_reflection_line.html

Example
Find an equation for the inverse of the relation:y = x2 - 2x.
Solution: We interchange x and y and obtain an equation of the inverse:
x = y2 - 2y.
Graphs of a relation and its inverse are always reflections of each other across the line y = x.

Graphs of a Relation and Its InverseIf a relation is given by an equation, then the solutions of the inverse can be found from those of the original equation by interchanging the first and second coordinates of each ordered pair. Thus the graphs of a
relation and its inverse are always reflections of each other across the line y = x.

One-to-One Functions
A function f is one-to-one if different inputs have different outputs – that is, if a ≠ b, then f (a) ≠ f (b).
Or a function f is one-to-one if when the outputs are the same, the inputs are the same – that is,
if f (a) = f (b), then a = b.
![Page 9: CHAPTER 5: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681617a550346895dd108cf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Inverses of Functions
If the inverse of a function f is also a function, it is named f -1 and read “f-inverse.”
The –1 in f -1 is not an exponent.
f -1 does not mean the reciprocal of f and f -1(x) can
not be equal to

One-to-One Functions and Inverses
·If a function f is one-to-one, then its inverse f -1 is a function.
·The domain of a one-to-one function f is the range of the inverse f -1.
·The range of a one-to-one function f is the domain of the inverse
f -1.
·A function that is increasing over its domain or is decreasing over its domain is a one-to-one function.

Horizontal-Line TestIf it is possible for a horizontal line to intersect the graph of a function more than once, then the function is not one-to-one and its inverse is not a function.
inverse is not a functionnot a one-to-one function
![Page 12: CHAPTER 5: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681617a550346895dd108cf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example
From the graph shown, determine whether each function is one-to-one and thus has an inverse that is a function.
No horizontal line intersects more than once: is one-to-one; inverse is a function.
Horizontal lines intersect more than once: not one-to-one; inverse is not a function.

No horizontal line intersects more than once: is one-to-one; inverse is a function

Obtaining a Formula for an Inverse
If a function f is one-to-one, a formula for its inverse can generally be found as follows:1. Replace f (x) with y.2. Interchange x and y.3. Solve for y.4. Replace y with f -1(x).
IMPORTANT
![Page 15: CHAPTER 5: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681617a550346895dd108cf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Example
Determine whether the function f (x) = 2x - 3 is one-to-one, and if it is, find a formula for f -1(x).
Solution: The graph is that of a line and passes the horizontal-line test. Thus it is one-to-one and its inverse is a function. 1. Replace f (x) with y:
y = 2x - 3 2. Interchange x and y:
x = 2y - 3
3. Solve for y: x + 2 = 3y
4. Replace y with f -1(x):

Example (continued)
Solution: The solutions of the inverse function can be found from those of the original function by interchanging the first and second coordinates of each ordered pair.

Example (continued)
The graph f -1 is a reflection of the graph f across the line y = x.

Inverse Functions and Composition
If a function f is one-to-one, then f -1 is the unique function such that each of the following holds:
for each x in the domain of f, and
for each x in the domain of f -1.
![Page 20: CHAPTER 5: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681617a550346895dd108cf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ExampleGiven that f (x) = 5x + 8, use composition of functions to show that
Solution:

Restricting a Domain
When the inverse of a function is not a function, the domain of the function can be restricted to allow the inverse to be a function. In such cases, it is convenient to consider “part” of the function by restricting the domain of f (x).Suppose we try to find a formula for the inverse of f (x) = x2.
This is not the equation of a function because an input of 4 would yield two outputs, - 2 and 2.
![Page 22: CHAPTER 5: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681617a550346895dd108cf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Restricting a DomainHowever, if we restrict the domain of f (x) = x2 to nonnegative numbers, then its inverse is a function.

392/101. Reaction Distance. Suppose you are driving a car when a deer suddenly darts across the road in front of you. During the time it takes you to step on the brake, the car travels a distance D, in feet, where D is a function of the speed r, in miles per hour, that the car is traveling when you see the deer. That reaction distance D is a linear function given by
