📚 Quick Study Guide

  • 🔍 Definition: A function $f^{-1}(x)$ is the inverse of $f(x)$ if $f^{-1}(f(x)) = x$ and $f(f^{-1}(x)) = x$.
  • 🧮 Finding the Inverse:
    1. Replace $f(x)$ with $y$.
    2. Swap $x$ and $y$.
    3. Solve for $y$.
    4. Replace $y$ with $f^{-1}(x)$.
  • 📈 Horizontal Line Test: A function has an inverse if and only if it passes the horizontal line test (i.e., no horizontal line intersects the graph more than once).
  • 📝 Derivatives of Inverse Functions: If $y = f^{-1}(x)$, then $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(x))}$.
  • 💡 Domain and Range: The domain of $f(x)$ is the range of $f^{-1}(x)$, and the range of $f(x)$ is the domain of $f^{-1}(x)$.
