The inverse is not a function because it fails the vertical line test.
To find the inverse of a function, you replace x with y and y with x. Here, y=2x-4 would become x=2y-4. Now, we solve for y. 2y=x+4. y=(x/2)+4, and that is the inverse equation.
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
Put simply, the inverse of y=x^5+x^4+x is x=y^5+y^4+y. Unfortunately, this is a quintic function and there is no quintic formula.
No. A simple example of this is y = x2; the inverse is x = y2, which is not a function.
