Given the graph below, which of the following points would be included in the graph of the inverse of the function? (-1,1) (3,0) (0,3) (1, -1)

OpenStudy (freckles):

ok if the point (a,b) is on f then (b,a) is on the inverse of f

OpenStudy (freckles):

so equivalent question: which of the following points in on your graph of f: (1,-1) (0,3) (3,0) (-1,1)

OpenStudy (surryyy):

would it be (-1,1)?

OpenStudy (freckles):

for which question are you answering? my question or their question?

OpenStudy (surryyy):

my question

OpenStudy (freckles):

So you are saying since the point (1,-1) on the graph of f then the point (-1,1) is the graph of the inverse of f, right?

OpenStudy (surryyy):

yes?

OpenStudy (freckles):

you are using what I said about switching the numbers in the order pair.. if (a,b) is on f then (b,a) is of the inverse of f. and yes (1,-1) is on the graph of f so (-1,1) is on the inverse of f 's graph.

OpenStudy (freckles):

are you cool? or are you still confused?

OpenStudy (surryyy):

yea i get it. so my final answer is (-1,1) right?

OpenStudy (freckles):

I guess you didn't understand what I said above... "(1,-1) is on the graph of f so (-1,1) is on the inverse of f 's graph."!!! Remember your question is: Given the graph below, which of the following points would be included in the graph of the inverse of the function? We just said (-1,1) was on the graph of the inverse of f since (1,-1) is on the graph of f

OpenStudy (freckles):

(3,0) isn't on the inverse of f's graph because (0,3) isn't on the graph of f (0,3) isn't on the inverse of f's graph because (3,0) isn't on the graph of f (1,-1) isn't on the inverse of f's graph because (-1,1) isn't on the graph of f that only gives you the choice we have already gotten

OpenStudy (freckles):

(-1,1) is on the inverse of f's graph because (1,-1) is on the graph of f

OpenStudy (surryyy):

oh ok

OpenStudy (surryyy):

ty
