Inverse Functions and Graphing

The video tutorial explains how to graph the inverse of a function by identifying and interchanging the coordinates of points on the original function's graph. It emphasizes the importance of the function being 1-to-1, verified by the horizontal line test, to ensure the inverse is also a function. The tutorial demonstrates plotting the inverse function and highlights the reflection property across the line y=x.

What is the first step in graphing the inverse of a function?

• Determine the slope of the tangent line

• Calculate the area under the curve

• Interchange the x and y coordinates of points on the function

• Find the derivative of the function

What does the horizontal line test determine?

• If a function is differentiable

• If a function is one-to-one

• If a function is periodic

• If a function is continuous

If a function is not one-to-one, what can be said about its inverse?

• The inverse is not a function

• The inverse is undefined

• The inverse is the same as the original function

• The inverse is a function

Which of the following is a property of one-to-one functions?

• They pass the horizontal line test

• They pass the vertical line test

• They are always linear

• They have multiple y-values for each x-value
