Graph the function f^-1(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

reflect the graph over the line y=x

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

A line with slope 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it a line right through the origin?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

be a lot easier if you know what \[y=f(x)\] looked like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its just a line through the origin?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Yes/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow well that was ez thank you very much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what? no its not. u dont kno or u ddnt give the function f(x) so we dont kno what f^-1(x) looks like. The general answer to this problem is to reflect the graph over the line y=x

OpenStudy (sayan):

jahtoday is right! Even i confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really wanna c what satellite has been typin for the last 10 mins!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

another karnak questions. asking what \[y=f^{-1}\] looks like is just like asking what \[y=f(x)\] looks like. you need to know an equation for the function or at least some points. it is not a line through the origin. it can be determined from the graph of the original function by reflecting about the line y = x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

typing takes ten minutes because i am not used to typing on a laptop

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i was just wondering if u figured out how too answer the question and the suspense was killing me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it would be a miracle. ok i cannot type on this thing. taking too long. gnight

OpenStudy (sayan):

no body answered yet!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sayan what does the graph of \[y=f(x)\] look like?

OpenStudy (sayan):

y=x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what ? \[f(x)=x\]?

OpenStudy (sayan):

it's like forward slash /
