One-to-One Functions;
Inverse Functions
Relations
Definition: A relation is a set of points, (ordered
pairs) in the plane.
As an example, consider the relation
The domain of the inverse function is {0.8, 5.8, 6.1, 6.2, 8.3}
The range of the inverse function is {Indiana, Washington, South Dakota,
North Carolina, Tennessee}
Find the inverse of the following one-to-one function:
{(-5,1),(3,3),(0,0), (2,-4), (7, -8)}
State the domain and range of the function and its inverse.

For what values of x is f -1 ( f ( x ) ) = x ?
For what values of x is f ( f -1 ( x ) ) = x ?
Note the domain of f is { x x �-5} and the domain of g is { x x �0} .
