Hello wonderful mathematics people.
This is Anna Cox from Kellogg Community College.
Inverse functions F of G of X equal X for all X in the domain
of G&G of F of X equal X for all X in the domain of F.
Then F&G are inverses of each other.
The domain of F is the range of G and the range of F is the
domain of G Sometimes the notation is a little circle
which is our of F of G of X just means FG of X.
For a function to have an inverse, it must be 1 to one and
the function must pass the horizontal line test.
The horizontal line test is just like the vertical line test
which we used to determine if the relation was a function.
So it means that every horizontal line can only pass
through the graph one time.
To find the inverse algebraically, we switch the X
and the Y and solve for the new Y.
The correct notation is F of X&F inverse of X.
Thank you and have a wonderful day.
