In this example we will find the inverse of a discrete function for a given as a list of ordered pairs. Example 1: If find . When finding the inverse exchange x and y. The ordered pairs (x,y) become (y,x). Answer: In these examples we will find the inverse of functions given as an equation. Example 2: If find . Write function in terms of y. When finding the inverse exchange x and y. Solve for y.
Rewrite as Answer:
Example 3: If Write function in terms of y.
find
When finding the inverse exchange x and y. Solve for y. Square both sides of the equation.
Rewrite as Answer:
