Function Composition
Function composition happens when we take a whole function and substitute it in for x in another function.
– The “interior” function gets substituted in for x in the “exterior” function
Substitute in for in
Exercise 1
Let f(x) = 4x + 2 and g(x) = 1/4x – 1/2. Find the following compositions.
1. f(g(x)) 2. g(f(x))
Inverse Relations
An inverse relation is a relation that switches the inputs and output of another relation.
Inverse relations “undo” each other
Inverse Functions
If a relation and its inverse are both functions, then they are called inverse functions.
𝑓 ( 𝑓 − 1 (𝑥 ) )=𝑥∧ 𝑓 −1 ( 𝑓 (𝑥 ) )=𝑥
f -1 = “f inverse” or “inverse of f ”
The inverse of a function is not necessarily a
function.
Inverse Functions
If a relation and its inverse are both functions, then they are called inverse functions.
𝑓 ( 𝑓 − 1 (𝑥 ) )=𝑥∧ 𝑓 −1 ( 𝑓 (𝑥 ) )=𝑥
For and to be inverse functions, the domain of

Exercise 2

Finding the Inverse of a FunctionSince the inverse of
a function switches the - and -values of the original function, we can easily find the inverse of a function algebraically:

with inverses.

Therefore, the graphs of inverse functions are reflections across the line .
Furthermore, to graph , first graph and then switch the - and - coordinates of some key points.

Does it Function?
As the previous Exercise demonstrated, even though you can find the inverse of a function, the inverse itself may not be a function.
Remember, we overcome this shortcoming by restricting the domain of the original function.

Does it Function?
Recall that we can use the vertical line test to see if a graph represents a function.
Function Not a Function
The question is: How can we tell if a function’s inverse will be a function?
Horizontal Line Test
The inverse of a function f is also a function iff no horizontal line intersects
the graph of f more than once.
Exercise 11
Graph the function f. Then use the graph to determine whether f -1 is a function.
1. 2. 3.
One-to-One Function
If f passes both the vertical and the horizontal line tests—that is, if f and f -1 are functions—then f is a one-to-one function.
Every input has exactly one output
Every output has exactly one input
