Inverse function notation

What is an inverse function?

Back

An inverse function reverses the operation of the original function. If f(x) = y, then the inverse function g(y) = x.

What is the relationship between a function and its inverse?

Back

If f and g are inverse functions, then f(g(x)) = x and g(f(x)) = x for all x in the domain.

What is the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence?

Back

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d, where a_1 is the first term and d is the common difference.

What is the explicit formula for a geometric sequence?

Back

The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is a_n = a_1 * r^(n-1), where a_1 is the first term and r is the common ratio.

If f(2) = -1, what is g(-1)?

Back

g(-1) = 2, since f and g are inverse functions.

How do you find the nth term of a sequence given its formula?

Back

Substitute n into the formula to calculate the nth term.

What does it mean for two functions to be inverses?

Back

Two functions are inverses if they 'undo' each other, meaning applying one function followed by the other returns the original input.
