We actually don't need to do any computation. By definition, the inverse function changes the role of input and output. So, if a function f maps x onto y, the inverse function maps y onto x.
You have to think like this: if the function makes a step further, the inverse function makes that same step back.
This means that the composition is always the identity function
. In fact,
So, for every function, you have
Answer:
It is a function.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can test if a graph is a function if you draw a vertical line anywhere on the graph and you see it hits two points.
This is the table for the graph.
Remember these rules:
We can check these two rules for this graph:
Keep in mind that two different x-values can have the same y value.
Figure 1:
It has two x values with the same y-values.
Figure 2 and 3:
The vertical line goes through two points. So the same x-value has two different y-values.
