CCSS Description: Find inverse functions. a. Solve an equation of the form f(x) = c for a simple function f that has an inverse and write an expression for the inverse. For example, f(x) =2 x3 or f(x) = (x+1)/(x–1) for x ≠ 1. b. (+) Verify by composition that one function is the inverse of another. c. (+) Read values of an inverse function from a graph or a table, given that the function has an inverse. d. (+) Produce an invertible function from a non-invertible function by restricting the domain.
This worksheet will give learners plenty of practice in finding inverse functions, using the inverse function notation, and solving problems involving inverse functions. Section A starts with a table of functions in the form f(x). Learners must use an appropriate method to find the inverse function. Section B then have some exam style questions involving solving equations of inverse functions and composite functions. There is also a more challenging extension question.
