Inverse Functions - Pre-Calculus

When trying to find the inverse of a point, switch the x and y values.

So,

In order to find the inverse of the function, we need to switch the x- and y-variables.

After switching the variables, we have the following:

Now solve for the y-variable. Start by subtracting 10 from both sides of the equation.

Divide both sides of the equation by 4.

Rearrange and solve.

To find the inverse function, first replace with :

Now replace each with an and each with a :

Solve the above equation for :

Replace with . This is the inverse function:

To find the inverse function, first replace with :

Now replace each with an and each with a :

Solve the above equation for :

Replace with . This is the inverse function:

To find the inverse of , interchange the and terms and solve for .

When trying to find the inverse of a point, switch the x and y values.

So

In order to find the inverse, switch the x and y variables in the function then solve for y.

Switching variables we get,

.

Then solving for y to get our final answer.

First, switch the variables making into .

Then solve for y by taking the square root of both sides.

To find the inverse in this case, we need to switch our x and y variables and then solve for y.

Therefore,

becomes,

To solve for y we square both sides to get rid of the sqaure root.

We then subtract 2 from both sides and take the exponenetial of each side, leaving us with the final answer.

To find the inverse of y, or

first switch your variables x and y in the equation.

Second, solve for the variable in the resulting equation.

Simplifying a number with 0 as the power, the inverse is

To find the inverse of y, or

first switch your variables x and y in the equation.

Second, solve for the variable in the resulting equation.

And by setting each side of the equation as powers of base e,

To find the inverse we need to switch the variables and then solve for y.

Switching the variables we get the following equation,

.

Now solve for y.

We begin by taking and changing the to a , giving us .

Next, we switch all of our and , giving us .

Finally, we solve for by subtracting from each side, multiplying each side by , and dividing each side by , leaving us with,

.

So we first replace every with an and every with a .

Our resulting equation is:

Now we simply solve for y.

Subtract 9 from both sides:

Now divide both sides by 10:

The inverse of

is

To find the inverse of a function we just switch the places of all and with eachother.

So

turns into

Now we solve for

Divide both sides by

To find the inverse, substitute all x's for y's and all y's for x's and then solve for y.

To find the inverse of the function, we switch the switch the and variables in the function.

Switching and gives

Then, solving for gives our answer:

To find the inverse of the function, we must swtich and variables in the function.

Switching and gives:

Solving for yields our final answer:

To find the inverse of the function, we can switch and in the function and solve for :

Switching and gives:

Solving for yields our final answer:
