Question

Please give a detailed example of where inverses would be used in the real world.

Answer 1

Inverse functions?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Okay here's a real life example
We know that 1USD= 19.01 Mexican pesos
So suppose that x= USD and y= pesos
If I want to find pesos I use this expression
Y = x * 19.01 where x is how much dollars I want to convert
So what if I want to find the amount of dollars for specific amount of pesos?
Well we use the inverse
X = Y/19.01
Where y is the amount of pesos that we are going to convert into dollars.

That's a good realistic example

Hope that helps
