9-5 Functions and Their Inverses
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.

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.

9-5 Functions and Their Inverses
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.

Example 2: Writing Rules for inverses
Find the inverse of . Determine whether it is a function, and state its domain and range.
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.

Example 2 Continued
Rewrite the function using y instead of f(x).
Step 1 Find the inverse.
Simplify.
Switch x and y in the equation.
Cube both sides.
Isolate y.

Example 2 Continued
Because the inverse is a function, .
The domain of the inverse is the range of f(x):{x|x R}.
The range is the domain of f(x):{y|y R}.
Check Graph both relations to see that they are symmetric about y = x.

Rewrite the function using y instead of f(x).
Step 1 Find the inverse.
Take the cube root of both sides.
Switch x and y in the equation.
Add 2 to both sides of the equation.
Simplify.

The inverse functions “undo” each other,
You can use composition of functions
to verify that 2 functions are inverses.
When you compose two inverses…the result is the input value of x.

If f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x
Then f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions
Example 1:
f g x g f x x
3f g x x 1
3g f x x
Because f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x, they are inverses.
Holt Algebra 2
9-5 Functions and Their InversesDetermine by composition whether each pair of functions are inverses.Example 2:
Find the composition f(g(x)).
Use the Distributive Property.
Simplify.
f(x) = 3x – 1 and g(x) = x + 1 1 3
Substitute x + 1 for x in f.

= (x + 3) – 1
f(g(x)) = x + 2
The functions are NOT inverses.

f(x) = x + 6 and g(x) = x – 9 2 3
= x – 6 + 6 = x + 9 – 9
Because f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x, they are inverses.

Example 4
Substitute for x in f.
f(x) = x2 + 5 and for x ≥ 0
= x + 25 +5 10 x
Because f(g(x)) ≠ x, f (x) and g(x) are NOT inverses.
