Verifying Inverse Functions To verify that two functions are inverses of each other, show that f(g(x)) = x AND g(f(x)) = x. Verify that the two functions are inverses of each other. 1) f(x) = x ­ 3 and g(x) = x + 3 2) f(x) = 1 / 2 x + 3 and g(x) = 2x ­ 6 Mar 4­9:16 AM 2

Finding the Inverse of a Function 1) Rewrite "f(x) = " as" y = " 2) Switch x and y 3) Solve for y 4) Rewrite as f ­1 (x) = Find the inverse of each function. 1) f(x) = 3x ­ 1 2) f(x) = 2 / 3 x ­ 4 Mar 4­9:21 AM 3

Verifying Inverse <strong>Function</strong>s<br />

To verify that two functions are <strong>inverse</strong>s of each o<strong>the</strong>r, show<br />

that f(g(x)) = x AND g(f(x)) = x.<br />

Verify that <strong>the</strong> two functions are <strong>inverse</strong>s of each o<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

1) f(x) = x ­ 3 and g(x) = x + 3<br />

2) f(x) = 1 / 2 x + 3 and g(x) = 2x ­ 6<br />
