One-to-One Functions Given a word description, what would the inverse be: You go into class, sit down, get your book out of your backpack, and open your book.
One-to-One Functions Given a word description, what would the inverse be: You go into class, sit down, get your book out of your backpack, and open your book. Inverse: You close your book, put your book in your backpack, get up and exit the classroom.
Horizontal Line Test If every horizontal line intersects the graph of a function at no more than one point, then the function is one-to-one. Example Use the horizontal line test to determine whether the graphs are graphs of one-to-one functions.
Horizontal Line Test If every horizontal line intersects the graph of a function at no more than one point, then the function is one-to-one. Example Use the horizontal line test to determine whether the graphs are graphs of one-to-one functions. No Yes
Graphing the inverse relation or function Draw the inverse relation, then the inverse function. No Yes
One-to-One Functions
Inverse Functions Let f be a one-to-one function. Then, g is the inverse function of f and f is the inverse of g if

Finding an Equation for the Inverse Function Verbally and Algebraically Finding the Equation of the Inverse of y = f(x) For a one-to-one function f defined by an equation y = f(x), find the defining equation of the inverse as follows. (Any restrictions on x and y should be considered.)
Example of Finding f -1(x)
Example of Finding f -1(x)
Example of Finding f -1(x) 1. h(x) = 5 𝑥 + 9 2. f(x) = 4x3 - 5
Finding the Inverse of a Function with a Restricted Domain
Finding the Inverse of a Function with a Restricted Domain Solution Notice that the domain of f is restricted to [–5, ), and its range is [0, ). It is one-to-one and thus has an inverse.
Application of Inverse Functions Example Use the one-to-one function f(x) = 3x + 1 and the numerical values in the table to code the message PLAY MY MUSIC. A 1 B 2 C 3 D 4 E 5 F 6 G 7 H 8 I 9 J 10 K 11 L 12 M 13 N 14 O 15 P 16 Q 17 R 18 S 19 T 20 U 21 V 22 W 23 X 24 Y 25 Z 26
