Inverse-Functions

Black = original function Green = inverse function

Notice how the inverse function is the result of reflecting the original function over y=x.

inverse will not be a function inverse will be a function

You can determine if a function is one to one (meaning the inverse of the function is also a function) by doing a horizontal line test. If a horizontal line intersects the graph of the inverse more than once, the inverse is not a function.

This website provides applets and questions to reinforce the concept of inverse functions.

This website illustrates how to graph an inverse function by reflecting it over y=x.

See this video for a step-by-step explanation of how to find the inverse of a function:
