For every point on the graph of F(x), there is a point on the graph of F -1(x) with exactly the same coordinates. A. True B. False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would this be false because since the second F(x) is negative wouldn't that make the numbers negative and not "exactly the same"

OpenStudy (triciaal):

I think what you have would be correct for f(-x) but this is the inverse of the function f -1 where x and y are switched and would make it true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then it would be true not false?

`For every point on the graph of F(x), there is a point on the graph of F -1(x) with exactly the same coordinates.` this basically implies that f(x) and its inverse is the same graph. That is only true for f(x) = x and things like f(x) = 1/x. It's not true for any random f(x) function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its false?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that what triciaal said incorrect?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nevermind
