x f(x) -1 1 2 3 3 6 5 7 7 8 The values in the table define the function f(x). The value of f^-1(3) is_____________ , and the value of f^-1(8) is____________.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

do you know what f^-1(x) means

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

something about inverse functions

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

For the values given the inverse values are just switched from the original function

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Ok - it means the Inverse of f(x) yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its f(x)?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

so if you have x = -1 f(x) = 1, you'll have x = 1 f^(-1)(x) = -1

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

notice how it's just switched around
