if f(x) = 4x, then the inverse function g(x) = x/4
An even function cannot have an inverse.If f(x) = y, then if f is an even function, f(-x) = y.Then, if g were the inverse function of f, g(y) would be x as well as -x.But a one-to-many relationship is not a function.
Graph that equation. If the graph pass the horizontal line test, it is an inverse equation (because the graph of an inverse function is just a symmetry graph with respect to the line y= x of a graph of a one-to-one function). If it is given f(x) and g(x) as the inverse of f(x), check if g(f(x)) = x and f(g(x)) = x. If you show that g(f(x)) = x and f(g(x)) = x, then g(x) is the inverse of f(x).
No. The set of x-values are the domain for only g. This will result in a set of images, which will be g(x). This set of g(x) values are the domain of f.
Suppose a function f(.) is defined in the following way: f(1) = 3 f(2) = 10 f(3) = 1 We could write this function as the set { (1,3), (2, 10), (3,1) }. The inverse of f(.), let me call it g(.) can be given by: g(3) = 1 g(10) = 2 g(1) = 3
Maybe; the range of the original function is given, correct? If so, then calculate the range of the inverse function by using the original functions range in the original function. Those calculated extreme values are the range of the inverse function. Suppose: f(x) = x^3, with range of -3 to +3. f(-3) = -27 f(3) = 27. Let the inverse function of f(x) = g(y); therefore g(y) = y^(1/3). The range of f(y) is -27 to 27. If true, then f(x) = f(g(y)) = f(y^(1/3)) = (y^(1/3))^3 = y g(y) = g(f(x)) = g(x^3) = (x^3)^3 = x Try by substituting the ranges into the equations, if the proofs hold, then the answer is true for the function and the range that you are testing. Sometimes, however, it can be false. Look at a transcendental function.
Since g(x) is known, it helps a lot to find f(x). f(g(x)) is a new function composed by substituting x in f with g(x). For example, if g(x) = 2x + 1 and f(g(x)) = 4x2+ 4x + 1 then you you recognize that this is the square of the binomial 2x + 1, so that f(g(x)) = (f o g)(x) = h(x) = (2x + 1)2, meaning that f(x) = x2. if you have a specific example, it will be nice, because there are different ways (based on observation and intuition) to decompose a function and write it as a composite of two other functions.
It depends on the context. The additive inverse of a number, X, is the number -X such that their sum is 0. The multiplicative inverse of a (non-zero) number, Y, is the number -Y such that their product is 1. The inverse of a function f, is the function g (over appropriate domains and ranges) such that if f(X) = Y then g(Y) = X. So, for example, if f(X) = 2X then g(X) = X/2 or if f(X) = exp(X) then g(X) = ln(X), and so on.
you take f(g(x)) and g(f(x)) of the two functions and the answers should be the same, if the answers are different they are not inverses.

If f(x) is a function, the inverse may, or may not, be a function. In math, quite often it is possible, and sensible, to restrict the original function to a certain range of numbers, within which the inverse is well-defined.The function f(x) has an inverse (within a certain range) if it is strictly monotonous within that range.
If f(x) is the inverse of g(x) then the domain of g(x) and the range of f(x) are the same.
