Let's see what happens when you distribute and remove some parentheses.

f(r(x)) = 4 + (x - 4) f(r(x)) = x

What if you had found f-I(f(x)) instead of f(J-I(X))?

(4 - 3x) - 4

f-I(f(x)) = -3 Substitutef(x) for x inf-l(x).

f-l(f(X)) = -=-3; Combine like terms in the numerator.

f-1(f(x)) = x Divide.

When you take the composition of a function and its inverse, you get x. How does the graph of y = x relate to the graphs of a function and its inverse? Look carefully at the graphs below to see the relationship between a function and its inverse.

A function and its in-

A turntable OJ, like OJ Spooky shown here, applies special effects and mixing techniques to alter an original source of music. If you consider the original record to be one function and the effects or a second record to be another function, the music that the OJ creates is a composition of functions.

A function f(x) contains the points (-2, -3), (0, -1), (2, 2), and (4,6). Give the points known to be in the inverse of f(x). (- 3, - 2), (-1,0), (2, 2), (6, 4)

1e. Find the composition of f-l(f(X». If it equals x, you have the correct inverse.

Exercise 8 You might [Ask] "How do you know the inverse is a function?" Students may cite the horizontal line test or a table.

a and e are inverses; band d are inverses; c and g are inverses; f and h are inverses.

~ Reason and Apply

GGiVen the functionsf(x) = -4 + O.5(x - 3)2 andg(x) = 3 + \h(x + 4); a. Eindf(7) andg(4). 1(7) = 4;g(4) = 7

h. What does this imply? They might be inverse functions.

c. Findf(l) andg(-2). 1(0 = -2;g(-2) = 5

d. What does this imply? They are Hot inverse functions, at least not over their entire domains and ranges.

e. Over what domain are f and g inverse functions?

j(x) for x 2: 3 and g(x) for x 2: -4 are inverse functions.

6. Given f(x) = 4 + (x - 2)3/5;

a. Solve for x when f(x) = 12 . h. Find f-I(X) symbolically .

c. How are solving for x and fmding an inverse alike? How are they different?

~ Consider the function f(x) = 4 + (x - 2)3/5 given in Exercise 6 .

a. Graph y = f(x) and use your calculator to draw its inverse.

h. Graph the inverse function you found in Exercise 6b. How does it compare to the inverse drawn by your calculator?

(;\. c. How can you determine whether your answer to Exercise 6b is correct?

~ Write. each ~n~tion. usingf(x) nota~ion, then find its inverse. If the inverse is a function, wnte It usmgf-l(x) notation,

a. y = 2x - 3 h. 3x + 2y = 4 c. x2 + 2y = 3

9. For each function in 9a and b, find the value of the expressions in i to iv.

a. f(x) = 6.34x - 140 i. f-I(X)

h. f(x) = l.8x + 32 ii. f(J-I(lS.75») iii. r(f(15.7S»

iv. f(J-I(X)) andf-l(f(x»

Note that the equation in 9b will convert temperatures in °C to temperatures in oF. You will use either this function or its inverse in Exercise 10.

Exercise 9 One intent of this exercise is for students to realize that thinking can save them work in ii and iii.
