Since a parabola is "U" shaped, it is not one-to-one. Solution: By now you should recognize that this is the equation of a parabola. The following is an example of finding the inverse of a function that is not one-to-one.Įxample 1:ğind the inverse of the function. We will find the inverse for just that part of the graph. Study the graph of a function that is not one-to-one and choose a part of the graph that is one-to-one.
#INVERSE FUNCTION GRAPH HOW TO#
This section will show you how to restrict the domain and then find a unique inverse on that domain. The domain of the original function must be restricted so that its inverse will be unique. If the function is not one-to-one, then its inverse will not be unique, and the inverse function must be unique. Mentally scan the graph with a horizontal line if the line intersects the graph in more than one place, it is not the graph of a one-to-one function. You can identify a one-to-one function from its graph by using the Horizontal Line Test. In this case, the above three points would not be points on the graph of a one-to-one function because 7 links to different numbers in the domain. A one-to-one function adds the requirement that each element in the range is linked to just one number in the domain. You could have points (3, 7), (8, 7) and (14,7) on the graph of a function.
Recall that a function is a rule that links an element in the domain to just one number in the range.
You can always find the inverse of a one-to-one function without restricting the domain of the function.
