The inverse of an equation is rewriting it as a function of the other variable. Simply solve the equation for x instead of y.
y=9x can be written as x= (1/9)y --> fy=y/9◄
y=4x+6 (or 4x+6=y) -> 4x=y-6 -> x=(y-6)/4 --> gy=(y-6)/4■
To find the inverse of a function, simply switch the variables x and y. So for the function y=7x+3, the inverse would be x=7y+3, or y=(x-3)/7.
So y = (3x - 4)/2. To find the find the inverse equation, y-1,(1) Rewrite the equation replacing all ys with xs and all xs with ys.x = (3y - 4)/2(2) Solve the new equation for yx = (3y - 4)/22x = 3y - 42x + 4 = 3y(2x + 4)/3 = yThis is your inverse equation!y-1 = (2x + 4)/3
Not quite. You can use a vertical line test on the graph of the inverse mapping, OR you can use a horizontal line test on the original graph. The horizontal line test is used in the same way.

Yes.
No. A simple example of this is y = x2; the inverse is x = y2, which is not a function.
Given a function, one can "switch" the variables x and y and then solve for y afterwards to determine the inverse function.
An example of a relation that is a function but whose inverse is not a function is the relation defined by the equation ( f(x) = x^2 ) for ( x \geq 0 ). This function maps each non-negative ( x ) to a non-negative ( y ), making it a valid function. However, its inverse, ( f^{-1}(y) = \sqrt{y} ), does not satisfy the definition of a function when considering the entire range of ( y ) values (since both positive and negative values of ( y ) yield the same ( x )). Thus, the inverse is not a function.
No. This is not true. It is false. The equation is an example of direct variation.
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.

Generally, to find the inverse of an equation, replace every x with y and replace every y (otherwise written f(x) ) with an x. Then it's "good form" to get the equation into y= form. For an equation involving only two variables, the inverse can be found by swapping the x and y variables. Then, solve for y. If the equation does not define y as a function of x, the function f does not have an inverse. In order to start talking about an inverse, be sure first, that the given equation defines y as a function of x. Not every graph in the rectangular system is the graph of a function. For example, if you have an equation: x^2/4 + y^2/9 = 1 it's wrong to say the inverse will be: y^2/4 + x^2/9 = 1. Both of the above equations are ellipses. The original equation is an ellipse with the major axis (the long axis) on the y-axis, while the other has the major axis on the x-axis. Both of them do not represent a function, because if you solve for y, you'll see that two values of y can be obtained for a given x. Please note that if you are talking about functions, then not every function has an inverse, as a function must be one-to-one in order to have an inverse. A function must pass the "horizontal line test", which states that the graph of a function must never intersect with a horizontal line more than once, anywhere on it's domain. Inverse functions have some special properties: 1) The graph of an inverse function is the reflection of the original function reflected across the line y = x. 2) A function and it's inverse cancel each other out through functional composition.

To determine the inverse demand function for a market, you can start by collecting data on the market price and quantity demanded. Plotting this data on a graph and finding the slope will help you derive the inverse demand function, which shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded in the market.
The additive inverse property states that for any number ( a ), there exists an additive inverse ( -a ) such that ( a + (-a) = 0 ). An example of an equation that illustrates this property is ( 5 + (-5) = 0 ). This shows that adding a number and its additive inverse results in zero.
The horizontal line test is used to determine whether a function is one-to-one and if it had a inverse.
To find the inverse of a function, simply switch the variables x and y. So for the function y=7x+3, the inverse would be x=7y+3, or y=(x-3)/7.
