FUNCTION
A function has an inverse if and only if it is one – to – one.
GENERAL MATHEMATICS
Inverting the x and y values of a function
 FINDING THE INVERSE FUNCTION OF A ONE - TO - ONE EQUATION

WRITE THE EQUATION;

A Write the function in the form of y = f(x)

B
Interchange the x and y variables

C
Solve for y in terms of x

-1 -1
D
Denote by f (x) or f (y) = x
EXAMPLES:

-1 x-2
f(x) = 5x + 2 f (x) =
5
