Learning how to find the inverse of a quadratic and using restrictions

The video tutorial covers the concept of functions, focusing on the function F(x) = x^2. It explains how to determine if a graph represents a function using the vertical line test. The tutorial then explores inverse functions, highlighting the horizontal line test to check if an inverse is a function. It demonstrates how to find the inverse of a function by swapping variables and solving for y. The video concludes by explaining how to restrict the inverse to the positive square root to make it a function.

What test is used to determine if a graph represents a function?

• Parallel line test

• Vertical line test

• Horizontal line test

• Diagonal line test

Which test is used to determine if the inverse of a function is also a function?

• Derivative test

• Slope test

• Horizontal line test

• Vertical line test

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

• Reflect the graph over the x-axis

• Solve for x

• Swap the x and y variables

• Set F(x) equal to y

Why is the inverse of F(x) = x^2 not a function?

• It fails the vertical line test

• It fails the horizontal line test

• It has multiple y-values for a single x-value

• It has multiple x-values for a single y-value

How can the inverse of a function be made into a function?

• By restricting the domain

• By using the vertical line test

• By reflecting it over the y-axis

• By using the horizontal line test

What part of the inverse is chosen to make it a function?

• The positive square root of x

• Both positive and negative square roots

• The negative square root of x

• Neither, the inverse cannot be a function

What is the purpose of creating a restriction on the inverse of a function?

• To make the inverse pass the horizontal line test

• To make the inverse pass the vertical line test

• To make the inverse a one-to-one function

• To make the inverse a many-to-one function
