1. 12.1 Inverse Functions For an inverse function to exist, the function must be one-to-one. One-to-one function – each x-value corresponds to only one y-value and each y- value corresponds to only one x-value. Horizontal Line Test – A function is one-to- one if every horizontal line intersects the graph of the function at most once.

2. 12.1 Inverse Functions f -1 (x) – the set of all ordered pairs of the form (y, x) where (x, y) belongs to the function f. Note: Since x maps to y and then y maps back to x it follows that:

3. 12.1 Inverse Functions Method for finding the equation of the inverse of a one-to-one function: 1.Interchange x and y. 2.Solve for y. 3.Replace y with f -1 (x)
