156. Inverse of a function
Let f : X  Y is a bijective function. We define a function g : Y  X such that f(x) = y  g(y) = x, x  X, y  Y.
The g is called the inverse of f, and is denoted by f – 1 .To find inverse of a function we proceed as follows :
Put y = f(x)
Express x as function of y, say x = g(y) then inverse of f(x) is g(x) For example f : R  R given by f(x) = 2x – 1 is a bijective function, to
find its invest, we put
1 y 1 x
y = 2x – 1 x = So , the desired inverse is f – 1(x) =

The graph of a function and the graph of its inverse are symmetrical about the line y = x. So, they intersect when y = x. For example for the

function in the illustration given above the graph of y = 2x – 1 and y = intersect if 2x – 1 x  x = 1.
