No. A simple example of this is y = x2; the inverse is x = y2, which is not a function.
Yes, an inverse can be a function, but this depends on the original function being one-to-one (bijective). A one-to-one function has a unique output for every input, allowing for the existence of an inverse that also meets the criteria of a function. If the original function is not one-to-one, its inverse will not be a function, as it would map a single output to multiple inputs.
To graph the inverse of a function without finding ordered pairs, you can reflect the original graph across the line ( y = x ). This is because the coordinates of the inverse function are the swapped coordinates of the original function. Thus, for every point ( (a, b) ) on the original graph, the point ( (b, a) ) will be on the graph of its inverse. Ensure that the original function is one-to-one for the inverse to be valid.
The inverse function means the opposite calculation. The inverse function of "add 6" would be "subtract 6".
Range
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.

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.

No. The inverse of an exponential function is a logarithmic function.
The original function's RANGE becomes the inverse function's domain.
The inverse of the cubic function is the cube root function.
-6 is a number, not a function and so there is not an inverse function.
X squared is not an inverse function; it is a quadratic function.
The inverse function means the opposite calculation. The inverse function of "add 6" would be "subtract 6".

No, an function only contains a certain amount of vertices; leaving a logarithmic function to NOT be the inverse of an exponential function.
