Do you know the graphical significance of \[f^{-1}(x)\] It is the reflection of the original function over the line y=x. When you are just given points, with no easily detected function, you can't always use the algebraic method. Instead convert them to (-y,-x) from the given (x,y) Then, do you know what is a one-to-one function? A one-to-one function is where every exact element in the range of the function corresponds to only ONE input in the domain. A quadratic function is never one-to-one because a certain element in the range has 2 inputs, while a cubic would be. Graphically you would use the horizontal line test, but given points you just check to make sure every output corresponds to a unique input. For the last part, recall that the inverse of a function is not always a function.

Ferredoxin4:

A good way to make sure is if the graph of the original function doesn't pass the horizontal line test, then the inverse isn't a funciton

Ferredoxin4:

function*

mhchen:

Check the table for \[f^{-1}(1)\] again.

Ferredoxin4:

Yeah, there is an error on the 3rd, 4rth, and 5th row

mhchen:

Nah I think the rest of his rows are correct.

Ferredoxin4:

ah yeah I myself didn't check it properly.
