12.1 Inverse Functions
• For an inverse function to exist, the function
must be one-to-one.
• One-to-one function – each x-value
corresponds to only one y-value and each yvalue corresponds to only one x-value.
• Horizontal Line Test – A function is one-toone if every horizontal line intersects the
graph of the function at most once.
12.1 Inverse Functions
• f-1(x) – the set of all ordered pairs of the
form (y, x) where (x, y) belongs to the
function f.
Note: f -1(x)  1
f ( x)
• Since x maps to y and then y maps back to x
it follows that: f -1 ( f(x))  f 1 ( y)  x
12.1 Inverse Functions
•
Method for finding the equation of the
inverse of a one-to-one function:
y  f (x)
1. Interchange x and y.
2. Solve for y.
3. Replace y with f-1(x)

Example: y  ( x  3)3  5
1. Interchange x and y. x  ( y  3)3  5
2. Solve for y. x  5  ( y  3)3

12.1 Inverse Functions
• Graphing inverse functions: The graph of an
inverse function can be obtained by
reflecting (getting the mirror image) of the
original function’s graph over the line y = x

Since b1 = b and b0 = 1, it follows that:
logb(b) = 1 and logb(1) = 0
