That depends on the original relation. For any relation y = f(x) the domain is all acceptable values of x and the range, y, is all answers of the function. The inverse relation would take all y values of the original function, what was the range, and these become the domain for the inverse, these must produce answers which are a new range for this inverse, which must match the original domain. IE: the domain becomes the range and the range becomes the domain.

Ex: y = x2 is the original relation

the inverse is y = =/- square root x

Rules to find the inverse are simple substitute x = y and y = x in the original and solve for the new y.

The notation is the original relation if y = f(x) but the inverse is

denoted as y = f -1(x), (the -1 is not used as an exponent, but is read as the word inverse)
