Condition for a function to have an inverse

One-to-one (1-to-1)

Notation for inverse of function f(x)f(x)

f−1(x)f^{-1}(x)

How to make many-to-one function have inverse

Restrict the domain

First step to find inverse function

Write as y=f(x)y = f(x) and swap xx and yy

Domain of f−1(x)f^{-1}(x) equals what of f(x)f(x)?

Range of f(x)f(x)

f−1(x)f^{-1}(x) for f(x)=x2,x≥0f(x) = x^2, x \geq 0

x,x≥0\sqrt{x}, x \geq 0

f−1(x)f^{-1}(x) for f(x)=ex,x∈Rf(x) = e^x, x \in \mathbb{R}

ln⁡(x),x>0\ln(x), x > 0

Geometric relationship between f(x)f(x) and f−1(x)f^{-1}(x)

Reflection through line y=xy = x

Where do f(x)f(x) and f−1(x)f^{-1}(x) intersect?

On the line y=xy = x

Why does f(x)=x2,x∈Rf(x) = x^2, x \in \mathbb{R} have no inverse?

It is many-to-one
