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
R {(2,1), (4,3), (0,3)}
As written, R is described using the roster method.
Since R consists of points in the plane, we follow
our instinct and plot the points.
Relations
Doing so produces the graph of R.
Inverse Relation
Definition: If R is a relation, then the relation
R-1 {(y,x) | (x,y)R}
is called the inverse relation of R.
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 .
