Can a one-to-one function and its inverse be equal? What must be true about the graph of f for this to happen? Give some examples to support your conclusion.

Sagot :

Yes, it is possible that one-to-one function and its inverse are true. If f(f(x)) = x then function and its inverse coincide.

What are one-to-one function and inverse of function ?

If each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value, the function is said to be one-to-one.  Inverse function graphs are reflections of the y = x line. This indicates that there can be only one y-value for each x-value. One-to-one functions are those that fit this description.

Inverse of function is represented by [tex]f^{-1} (x)[/tex].

Test to check inverse function: If and only if no horizontal line intersects the graph of f at more than one location, then the function f is one-to-one and possesses an inverse function.

Example: f(x) = 5-x

f(f(x))= 5- (5-x) = x

So above function is one to one and inverse of itself.
