Yo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

invertible as in... they have an inverse?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, on the interval of (-infinity, +infinity) though. So sin(x) wouldn't be invertible since you have to restrict the domain (I think that's how it goes)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when seeing if the function has an inverse, use the horizontal line test. it says that if you can draw a horizontal line on the graph of the function and it hits the curve of the function more than once, it does Not have an inverse function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh that's a lot easier. thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here are the first three functions graphed: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/hhs4djcqsw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here are the last two functions: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/q62hgl2cqc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you see which two functions only pass the horizontal line test?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup, I got it. Thanks!

ur welcome ^_^ (medal?)
