Questions:
1. How did you find the activity?

35
 2. How are you able to connect this activity in your daily

life? What is it

In the preceding activity, item numbers 1 and 5 represents a one-to-one function since
each student has a unique LRN and in item number 5, there is no y – value which is paired
with the same x – values.

Item numbers 2 to 4 does not represent a one-to-one function. In item number 3, the value
of domain is repeated (3, 1) and (3, 2). Also in number 4, it has a y-value that are paired up
with two different x-values; ( 2,2 ) and ( 3,2 ).

One-to-One Function
The function is one-to-one if for any x 1, x2 in the domain of f, then f(x1) ≠ f(x2).
That is, the same y – value is never paired with two different x – values.
Another way to determine whether a graph represents a one-to-one function is by
Using the Horizontal Line Test and Vertical Line Test.
Horizontal Line Test is a test used determine a one-to-one function. All one-
To-one functions satisfy both the vertical and horizontal line tests.
A graph showing the plot of y= x 2 + 2 fails the horizontal line test If any vertical line
and horizontal line intersects the graph at most 1 point, then the graph is a graph of a
oneto-one function. The graph of y = x3 passes the horizontal line test.

y = x3 y = x2 + 2

Questions:
1. How did you get your answer?
2. Is it easy to evaluate inverse of one-to-one function?
3. What makes you difficult in answering functions?

What is it?
Inverse of a One-to-One Function

Let f be a one-to-one function with domain and a range B. The inverse off denoted by f-1 is a
function with a domain B and a range A defined by f -1(y) = x, if and only if f(x) = y, for any y
in B.
Only one-to-one function has an inverse. If a function f is not one-to-one, properly defining
an inverse function f-1 will be problematic. For example, suppose that f (1) = 5 and f (3) = 5. If
f-1 exists, then f-1 (5) has to be both 1 and 3, and this prevents f -1 from being a valid function.
This is the reason why the inverse is only defined for one-to-one functions.

In the previous activity, we can find the inverse of a function by following the given
steps.
(a) Write the function in the form y = f(x);
(b) Interchange the x and y variables;
(c) Solve for y in terms of x

In Item number 1, to find the inverse off(x) = 3x+1, we have these step by step
solutions:
(a) The equation of the function is y=3x+1
(b) Interchange the x and y variables: x=3y+1
(c) Solve for y in terms of x: x=3y+1 x-
1=3y

Therefore, the inverse off(x) = 3x+1 is f-

In item number 2, the given is g(x) = x3-2, solving for its inverse, we have

40
 y= x3-2.
x= y3 – 2
x= y3-2
x+2=y3

Therefore, the inverse of g(x) = x3-2 is g- Using the

same steps, the resulting inverse of y = is f-1 (x) =

3𝑥−2
2
In item number 4, the given function y=x +4x-2 is not one-to one since it is a quadratic
function and the graph is a parabola that opens upward. This implies that these function fails
the horizontal line test. Thus, it has no inverse.

Property of an inverse of a one-to-one function

Given a one-to-one function f(x) and its inverse f-1(x), then the following are true:
(a) The inverse of f-1(x) is f(x).
(b) f(f-1(x))=x for all x in the domain of f-1.
(c) f -1(f(x))=x for all x in the domain of f.

For the second and third properties above, it can be imagined that evaluating a
function and its inverse in succession is like reversing the effect of the function. For
example, the inverse of a function that multiplies 3 to a number and adds 1 is a function that
subtracts 1 and then divides the result by 3.

Examples: 1. 𝑓 = 2𝑥 + 4;

Graphs of an inverse function

First, we need to ascertain that the given graph corresponds to a one-to-one function
by applying the horizontal line test. If it passes the test, the corresponding function is one-to-
one.
45
 In the preceding activity, the graph of the inverse off(x) =2x+1 is shown below.

F(x) =2x+1

F-1 (x) =

Domain of f-1 (x); D ={x є R |-3≤ x ≤ 4}

Range of f-1 (x); R = {y є R |-2≤ y ≤ 1.5}

In the same manner, the graph of the inverse of g -1 (x) = x3 – 1 is shown below.

X3 – 1

Domain of g-1 (x); D = {x/-2 ≥ x ≥ 2}

Range of g -1 (x); R = all real numbers

Given the graph of a one-to-one function, the graph of its inverse can be
obtained by reflecting the graph about the line y = x.
The domain and range of the inverse function can be determined by
Inspection of the graph.

Solving Problems Involving Inverse Function

We can apply the concepts of inverse functions in solving word problems involving
reversible processes.

Example:
You asked a friend to think of a nonnegative number, add two to the number, square
the number, multiply the result by 3 and divide the result by 2. If the result is 54, what is the
original number? Construct an inverse function that will provide the original number if the
result is given. https://www.scribd.com/document/413943141/Gen-Math-Pre-Test

Questions:

1. What are your ideas in solving this problem?

2. In what part of the problem makes you difficult in arriving the answer?
3. Is the problem easy? Why?

We first construct the function that will compute the final number based on the
original number. Following the instructions, we come up with this function:

Ƒ(x) = (x+2)2 ▪ 3 ÷ 2

The graph is shown below, on the left. This is not a one-to-one function because the
graph does not satisfy the horizontal line test. However, the instruction indicated that the
original number must be nonnegative. The domain of the function must thus be restricted to
x ≥ 0, and its graph is shown on the right, below.

47
 The function with restricted domain x ≥ 0 is then a one-to-one function, and
we can find its inverse.

Interchange the x and y variables: x =

Solve for y in terms of x:

x=

= y+2

(Since y ≥ 2, we do not need to consider the negative value of

-
2=y→ y= 2 → ƒ

Finally, we evaluate the inverse function at x = 54 t O determine the original number

-
ƒ 2=6–2=4
The original number is4.
