A Short Recap:
 What do you still remember
about a one-to-one
correspondence/ function
or a bijective function we
have discussed in
Chapter 1?
The One-to-One Correspondence or the Bijective Function
 When a function has additional property
that no two unique elements of the
domain have the same image in the range,
the function is said to be ONE-TO-ONE.
This suggests that each element of the
range is the image of exactly one element
of the domain.
Theorem 3.1: One-to-One Function Theorem
 A function that is
increasing or decreasing
over its domain is a one-
to-one function.
Classroom Task:
 Identify which of the
following show/s a concept
of one-to-one relationship
or BIJECTIVE.

Real-Life Situation Number 1:
 Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule that
carries most of the generic instructions used
in the development and functioning of all
known living organisms and viruses. It is the
hereditary materials in humans and almost all
other organisms. Every human being has a
unique DNA molecule, and every existing
DNA molecule is unique to a human being. in
other words, no two individual has exactly the
same DNA molecule.

Real-Life Situation Number 2:
 DepEd is developing a system of identification
for all learners of Philippine public schools. This
is the Learner's Identification Number
System (LIS) that aims to provide a unique
LIS to every public school learner. Its aim is that
no two LIS is assigned to a Filipino learner, and
that no two Filipino learners
have the same LIS.

Real-Life Situation Number 3:
 One of the primary moral values that is
advocated and taught by the Catholic
Church is the sanctity of the marriage
vow. It aims to promote happy marriage
between a living Catholic man and living
Catholic woman who have entered into a
marriage contract, that is, one man-one
woman relationship.
A Short Recap
How can we
determine if a given
function is one-to-one
or BIJECTIVE?
Theorem 3.2: The Horizontal Line Test Theorem
 If every horizontal line
intersects the graph of
function f in at most one
point, then function f is
one-to-one.

Determine if the given below is a one-to-one
function.
domain = { a, b, c, d, e, }
codomain = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, }
f = { (a, 2), (b, 3), (c, 1), (d, 5), (e, 4)}
Final Answer:

arrow diagram,
we have proven that
f = { (a, 2), (b, 3), (c, 1), (d, 5), (e, 4)}

function.
domain = { m, i, g, 0, }

is not a one-to-one function but
onto or surjective.

Something to think about…
Reverse the domain and the range of
each of the given functions on the board.
Then, identify if its reverse is a function.
Afterwards, use this classroom task to
construct your own definition of an
INVERSE FUNCTION.
Example 60:
Determine if the given below is a one-to-one
function.
domain = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, }
codomain = { a, b, c, d, e, }
f -1= { (2, a), (3, b), (1, c), (5, d), (4, e)}
Final Answer:
Using the ellipse diagram or arrow
diagram, we have proven that
f -1= { (2, a), (3, b), (1, c), (5, d), (4, e)}
is a FUNCTION
and a one-to-one or
BIJECTIVE.
Example 61:
Determine if the given below is a one-to-one
function.
domain = {0, 7, 5 }
codomain = { m, i, g, 0, }
f -1= { (0, m), (5, i), (5, g), (7, o) }
Final Answer:
Using the ellipse diagram or arrow
diagram, we have proven that
f -1= { (m, 0), (i, 5), (g, 5), (o, 7) }
is NOT A FUNCTION.
Example 62:
Determine if the given below is a one-to-one
function.
domain = {0, 7, 5, 2, 1, 6, }
codomain = { D, L, S, U}
f -1= { (0, L), (7, D), (1, S), (5, U) }
Final Answer:
Using the ellipse diagram or arrow
diagram, we have proven that
f -1= { (0, L), (7, D), (1, S), (5, U) }
is NOT A FUNCTION .
Something to think about…
Based on our previous classroom
task, what insight(s) have you
learned which you can use to
construct your own definition of an
INVERSE FUNCTION?
Definition of an Inverse Function
 The inverse function
or inverse of a function
is a set of ordered pairs formed by
reversing the coordinates of
ordered pair of the function.
The Domain and the Range of the Inverse Function
The domain of the inverse
function is the range of the
function, and the range of the
inverse function is the domain of
the function.
The Symbols
Domain of f =Range of f-1
Range of f=Domain of f-1
Something to think about…
Based on our previous examples,
when can we say that a function
has an inverse function? Or when
can we say that the inverse of a
function is a function?
Take Note:
A function f has an
inverse if and only if f is a
one-to-one correspondence
or a BIJECTIVE
FUNCTION.
Take Note:
Not all function
has an
INVERSE.

Management (ABM)
Mr. Migo M. Mendoza
Example 63:
The function f is one-to-one. Find the
inverse and check the answer.

f ( x)  2 x  4
Steps in Finding the Inverse of an One-to-One Equation:

Step 1:
Replace f(x) by y.
Steps in Finding the Inverse of an One-to-One Equation:

Step 2:
Interchange x
and y.
Steps in Finding the Inverse of an One-to-One Equation:

Step 3:
Solve for y
in terms of x.
Steps in Finding the Inverse of an One-to-One Equation:

Step 4:
Replace y with
-1
f (x).
Steps in Finding the Inverse of an One-to-One Equation:

Step 5:
Verify if f(x) and f are -1(x)

inverses of each other.


Something to think about…
What previous lesson can we
apply in order to verify if f(x)
and f are inverses of
-1(x)

each other?
The Composition of an Inverse Function
The composition of an inverse
function states that if the inverse
relation of a function f is also a
function, it is called the
inverse function of f,
denoted as f -1.
Moreover:
A function and its inverse are related by the
following equations:
 1

f f ( x)  x for all values of x in the domain
of f -1; and
f  f ( x)  x for all values of x in the domain
1

of f.
Thus:
 
f f 1 ( x)  f 1  f ( x)  x.
Take Note:
Take note that f -1(x)is not the
reciprocal of f(x) but the
notation for the inverse of a
one-to-one function.
Final Answer:
The inverse of the function f (x) is:

1 1
f ( x)  x  2
2
Take Note:
If two functions are inverses of
each other, then their graphs are
mirror images with respect to the
graph of the line
y  x.
Example 64:
Graph f ( x)  2 x  4 and
1
f ( x)  x  2 to show that their
1

2
graphs are symmetric with
respect to the graph
of the line y = x.
Example 65:
The function f is one-to-one. Find the
inverse and check the answer.

2
f ( x) 
x7
Final Answer:
The inverse of the function f (x) is:

1 7x  2
f ( x) 
x
Example 66:
Determine whether
x3
f ( x)  2 x  3 and g ( x) 
2
are inverses of each
other.
Final Answer:
Since,
f [ g ( x)]  x and g[ f ( x)]  x,
f(x) and g(x) are inverses of
each other.
Example 67:
Verify whether
x2
f ( x)  3x  3 and g ( x)  3
are inverses of each
other.
Final Answer:
Since,
f [ g ( x)]  x and g[ f ( x)]  x,
f(x) and g(x) are NOT inverses
of each other.
