Is the inverse of a quadratic function not a function?

Yes, what you do is imagine the function "reflected" across the x=y line. Which is to say you imagine it flipped over and 'laying on its side". Functions have only one value of y for each value of x. That would not be the case for a "flipped over" quadratic function


What is an inverse of a function?

The opposite of another function - if you apply a function and then its inverse, you should get the original number back. For example, the inverse of squaring a positive number is taking the square root.


What is an antitrigonometric function?

An antitrigonometric function is another term for an inverse trigonometric function.


What is the relationships between inverse functions?

The inverse of the inverse is the original function, so that the product of the two functions is equivalent to the identity function on the appropriate domain. The domain of a function is the range of the inverse function. The range of a function is the domain of the inverse function.


How can you tell if one function is the inverse of another?

draw them both out on a graph and then draw the line y=x through the origin. If one function is a reflection of the other, it is the inverse


Is the inverse of an exponential function the quadratic function?

No. The inverse of an exponential function is a logarithmic function.


If an inverse function undoes the work of the original function the original function's becomes the inverse function's domain?

The original function's RANGE becomes the inverse function's domain.


What is the inverse of a cubic function?

The inverse of the cubic function is the cube root function.


What is the inverse function of -6?

-6 is a number, not a function and so there is not an inverse function.


Why is x squared a inverse function?

X squared is not an inverse function; it is a quadratic function.


What is the inverse function of add 6?

The inverse function means the opposite calculation. The inverse function of "add 6" would be "subtract 6".
