Y = 1/X2

==============Can it pass the line test?

That is not the inverse, but the reciprocal. Not the same thing!

The inverse is y = sqrt(x). Onless the range is resticted, the mapping is one-to-many and so not a function.

Does every function have an inverse that is a function?

No. A simple example of this is y = x2; the inverse is x = y2, which is not a function.


What is the inverse of y x2?

Y = X2 Inverse. Y = 1/X2 ======


Is the inverse of the function y equals x2 still a function?

No. If you invert that function, it will produce an equation that gives you two return values for one input value. This does not meet the definition of a function.


Which functions do not have an inverse?

y = x2 where the domain is the set of real numbers does not have an inverse, because the square root function is a one-two-two mapping (except at 0). Any polynomial with more than one root, over the reals, has no inverse. y = 1/x has no inverse across 0. But it is possible to define the domain so that each of these functions has an inverse. For example y = x2 where x is non-negative has the square root function as its inverse.


What is the inverse of y equals x?

The inverse of the function y = x is denoted as y = x. The inverse function essentially swaps the roles of x and y, so the inverse of y = x is x = y. In other words, the inverse function of y = x is the function x = y.


Is the inverse of a linear function not a function?

The inverse of a linear function is always a linear function. There are a few ways to approach this.To think about it, you can imagine flipping the x and y axes. Essentially this equates to turning the graph of the linear function on its side to reveal the new inverse function which is still a straight line.More rigorously, the linear function y = ax + b has the inverse equation x = (1/a)y - (b/a). This is a linear function in y.


What is inverse of a function?

Simply stated, the inverse of a function is a function where the variables are reversed. If you have a function f(x) = y, the inverse is denoted as f-1(y) = x. Examples: y=x+3 Inverse is x=y+3, or y=x-3 y=2x+5 Inverse is x=2y+5, or y=(x-5)/2

What is an inverse function?

A function that, given X, will produce Y has an inverse function that will take Y and produce X. More formally:If f(x)=y, then f-1(y)=xWhere f-1() denotes the inverse function of f()


What is the inverse of a function and how do you represent it graphically and algebraically?

The inverse of a function reverses the input-output relationship, meaning if ( f(x) = y ), then the inverse ( f^{-1}(y) = x ). Graphically, the inverse of a function can be represented by reflecting the graph of the function across the line ( y = x ). Algebraically, to find the inverse, you solve the equation ( y = f(x) ) for ( x ) in terms of ( y ) and then interchange ( x ) and ( y ).


How do you illustrate an inverse function?

Given a function, one can "switch" the variables x and y and then solve for y afterwards to determine the inverse function.


What are the inverses of hyperbolic functions?

If f(x)=y, then the inverse function solves for y when x=f(y). You may have to restrict the domain for the inverse function to be a function. Use this concept when finding the inverse of hyperbolic functions.
