Topic: Exercises on Inverse Functions

Worksheet No.14 SW AS

Important: A function f has an inverse function if f is one-to-one. On the other hand, a manyto-one function doesnt have an inverse function. 1.1) Use the Vertical Line Test to determine which graphs are graphs of functions. 1.2) In which graphs can a horizontal line be drawn that will intersect the graph in more than one point? Which graphs of functions have inverse functions?

GRAPH A GRAPH B GRAPH C 1.3) Let f be a relation whose graph is GRAPH B. Name three ordered pairs that are on 1.4) Let g, , and . Describe a relationship between the graphs of g, , and .

. Is g one-to-one? On the Cartesian Plane, plot

The Horizontal Line Test is used to determine if the graph of a function f has an inverse function. f has an inverse function if EVERY horizontal line intersects the graph of f in at most one point. Note: On the Cartesian Plane, the graphs of any two relations g, are symmetric with respect to the Identity Function ( ). 2) Given in each of the following, determine if f has an inverse function. If f has an . inverse function, determine the Domain of the inverse. Also, remember that a.) c.) e.) b.) d.) given that: , d.) exists. Find the inverse of , d.) . Which of cannot be in the Domain of in f.)

3) In each of the following, find the value of a.) , b.) , c.) of the function , c.)

4) The inverse function terms of a.) 5) Let ? 6) Let given that: , b.) , where

. For what values of a will

and . Find

be the same function? .

7) Let c be a function such that
