You have seen the word inverse used in various ways.

The additive inverse of 3 is –3.

The multiplicative inverse of 5 is

Holt Algebra 2


You can also find and apply inverses to relations and functions. To graph the inverse relation, you can reflect each point across the line y = x. This is equivalent to switching the x- and y-values in each ordered pair of the relation.

A relation is a set of ordered pairs. A function is a relation in which each x-value has, at most, one y-value paired with it.

Remember!

When the relation is also a function, you can write the inverse of the function f(x) as f–1(x). This notation does not indicate a reciprocal.

Functions that undo each other are inverse functions.

To find the inverse function, use the inverse operation. In the example above, 6 is added to x in f(x), so 6 is subtracted to find f–1(x).

Holt Algebra 2


Recall that the vertical-line test (Lesson 1-6) can help you determine whether a relation is a function. Similarly, the horizontal-line test can help you determine whether the inverse of a function is a function.

Use the horizontal-line test to determine whether the inverse of the blue relation is a function.

Example 1A: Using the Horizontal-Line Test

The inverse is a function because no horizontal line passes through two points on the graph.

Holt Algebra 2


Use the horizontal-line test to determine whether the inverse of the red relation is a function.

Example 1B: Using the Horizontal-Line Test

The inverse is a not a function because a horizontal line passes through more than one point on the graph.

Holt Algebra 2


Use the horizontal-line test to determine whether the inverse of each relation is a function.

The inverse is a function because no horizontal line passes through two points on the graph.


Holt Algebra 2


Recall from Lesson 7-2 that to write the rule for the inverse of a function, you can exchange x and y and solve the equation for y. Because the value of x and y are switched, the domain of the function will be the range of its inverse and vice versa.

Holt Algebra 2


Example 2: Writing Rules for inverses

Step 1 The horizontal-line test shows that the inverse is a function. Note that the domain and range of f are all real numbers.

You have seen that the inverses of functions are not necessarily functions. When both a relation and its inverses are functions, the relation is called a one-to-one function. In a one-to-one function, each y-value is paired with exactly one x-value.

You can use composition of functions to verify that two functions are inverses. Because inverse functions “undo” each other, when you compose two inverses the result is the input value x.

Determine by composition whether each pair of functions are inverses.

Example 3: Determining Whether Functions Are Inverses

Find the composition f(g(x)).

f(g(x)) = 3( x + 1) – 1 1 3

Use the Distributive Property.

Simplify.

f(x) = 3x – 1 and g(x) = x + 1 1 3

Substitute x + 1 for x in f.

Because f(g(x)) ≠ x, f and g are not inverses. There is no need to check g(f(x)).

Because f(g(x)) = g(f (x)) = x for all x but 0 and 1, f and g are inverses.
