Celsius to Farenheit?
How do I know how much

Recall
What is a one-to-one function?
One-to-one
Functions
A function is one-to-one if every element in
its range, corresponds to EXACTLY ONE
What are some examples
element in its domain.
of one-to-one functions
in real life?
Inverse Functions
If a function is one-to-one, then the inverse of that function is formed
by reversing all ordered pairs in the function.
If a function is not one-to-one then the inverse of that function does
not exist.
Properties of If the inverse exists, then
Inverse 1. The inverse of the function is
also one-to-one
Functions
2. the domain of the inverse is 3. the range of the inverse is equal
equal to the range of the original to the domain of the original
function. function.
How to Find the
Inverse of a Function
1. Verify that the function is one-to-one.
2. Replace f(x) with y.
3. Interchange x and y.
Let’s answer page 103, 4. Solve for y.
nos. 16 - 21. 5. Replace y with the the symbol of the
inverse of x.
