Inverse Functions
- A function f(x) is one-to-one if it does not assign the same value to two different elements of its domain.
- If f(x) is a 1-1 function, then it has an inverse function f-1 defined by f-1(y)=x if f(x)=y, for all y in the range of f.
- The domain of f-1 is the range of f, and the range of f-1 is the domain of f.
- To find a formula for f-1, we can set y = f(x), solve for x in terms of y, and set f-1(y) = x.
