OBJECTIVES

After this lesson, you, students are expected to

be able to:

Define what is inverse function.

Examine and find the inverse of a function.
Solve problems involving inverse function
patiently.
x -2 -1 0 1 2
y -6 -5 -4 -3 -2
f(x) = x + 2
f(x) = x - 4
 x -2 -1 0 1 2
y 2 -4 -6 -4 2

 
 Show the values for x & y in table form for nos.
3 & 4 and determine for nos. 1 – 5 whether it is a
one-to-one function or not.

A relation reversing the process performed by any
function f(x) is called inverse of f(x). This means that
every element of the range corresponds to exactly
one element of the domain.
One-to-One Function Not One-to-One Function
x -2 -1 0 1 2 x -2 -1 0 1 2
y -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 y 4 1 0 1 4

x -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 x 4 1 0 1 4
y -2 -1 0 1 2 y -2 -1 0 1 2

A function has an inverse if and only if it is one-to-one function.

 EXAMPLES:

Original Functions: Inverses:

1. {(0,-2), (1,0), (2,2), (3,4)} 1. {(-2,0), (0,1), (2,2), (4,3)}.
 

x -2 -1 0 1 2
2. Find the inverse of y -5 -2 1 4 7
a function f(×) = 3x +
1.
 EXAMPLES:
Original Functions: • 
x -2 -1 0 1 2
y -4 1 6 11 16
3.  Find the inverse of
f(x) = 5x + 6.
Based on the given examples, how do we find the inverse of one-to-one function?

 EXAMPLES:
Original Functions: Inverses:
4. x -2 -1 0 1 2
4. Find the inverse of
f(x)=3x² – 2 if it exists. y 10 1 -2 1 10
Many-to-One, therefore it doesn’t have a valid
inverse function.

 Group Problem Solving
Bernie wants to exchange his 100 Philippine peso
bill to US dollars. He found out that the exchange
rate is represented by the function y=51.16x
where y represents the amount in Philippines
peso given the x US dollars. Find the equation
where y represents the amount of US dollars given
the x Philippine peso. How much is the equivalent
of Bernie’s 100 Philippine peso bill to US dollars?
 GPS SOLUTION

 QUIZ : Answer the given problem.
• 
 ASSIGNMENT
Prove that the inverse of a
linear function is also a
linear and the 2 slopes are
reciprocals of each other.
