📚 Master Finding the Inverse of a Function with Step-by-Step Examples! In this video, you’ll learn exactly how to find the inverse of a function using four clear algebraic steps. Whether the function is linear, cubic, or a rational expression, we’ll walk through each example carefully to show you how to isolate y and write the inverse function in proper notation. By the end, you’ll be confident in finding inverses for a wide range of functions!
🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ Steps to Find the Inverse of a Function:
Replace f(x) with y
Switch x and y
Solve for y
Replace y with f⁻¹(x)
✅ Practice with Different Types of Functions:
✔ Linear function: f(x) = 2x + 3
✔ Cubic function: f(x) = 2x³ − 5
✔ Radical function: f(x) = √(8x + 5)
✔ Rational function: f(x) = (2x + 1)/(3x − 4)
Each example is worked out step by step, so you can follow along and apply the process to your own problems.
🧠 Why It Matters:
✔ Inverse functions help us “undo” operations
✔ They’re essential in solving equations, graphing, and understanding relationships between variables
✔ They’re commonly tested in algebra and precalculus courses
