    This document defines one-to-one functions and inverse functions. It provides examples of one-to-one and non-one-to-one functions. It also outlines the key properties of inverse functions including: 1) the inverse of a one-to-one function is also one-to-one, 2) the domain of the inverse is the range of the original function, and 3) the range of the inverse is the domain of the original function. The document then provides steps and examples for finding the inverse of a function given either its ordered pairs or equation.

    ONE-TO-ONE AND INVERSE FUNCTIONS

    Recall:

    A relation is a set of ordered pairs. The domain of a relation is the set of first coordinates. The
    range is the set of second coordinates.

    Definition.

    A one-to-one function is a function in which for each value of y in the range of f, there is just
    one value x in the domain of f such that y=f(x). in other words, f is one-to-one if implies

    Example:

    A B A B

    1 a 1 a

    2 b 2 b

    3 c 3 c

    One-to-one function 4

    Not one-to-one function

    Inverse of One-to-One Functions Properties of an Inverse Function if the 𝑓 −


    inverse function exists,
    Definition: If f is one-to-one function, then 1. 𝑓 − is a one-to-one function, f is also
    the inverse of f denoted by 𝑓 − is the one-to-one
    function formed by reversing all ordered 2. Domain of 𝑓 − =Range of f
    pairs in f. Thus, 𝑓 − 𝑦 𝑥 : 𝑥 𝑦 𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑓} 3. Range of 𝑓 − = Domain of f

    Example1. Find the inverse of the function described by the set of ordered pairs {(0, -2), (1, 0), (2, 2),
    (3, 4), (4, 6)}

    Solution: }

    Domain:
    Range :
    −
    {(-2, 0), (0, 1), (2, 2), (4, 3), (6, 4)}

    Domain :
    Range :

    Let us apply the properties of inverse function if exist

     both −
    are one-to-one, since every elements in the domain are
    paired/mapping one element in the range.

     domain of −
    =Range of f (i.e., = )

     range of −
    = Domain of f (i.e., = )

    Since the properties of inverse functions are satisfied, then the inverse functions exist.

    Example 2. Find the inverse function described by the set of ordered pairs
    }.

    Solution.
    }

    Domain : {-6, -3, 3, 6}


    Range : {-1, 2, 3 }
    − }
    Domain : {-1, 2, 3}
    Range : {-6, -3, 3, 6 }

    is one-to-one since every element in the domain paired/mapping one element in the
    range, while − is not one-to-one since the -1 paired/mapping two elements in the range such
    as -3 and 6.

    Thus, the properties of inverse function not satisfied, then the inverse function of the
    given set of ordered pairs does not exist.
    Finding inverse function from its equation
