Checkpoint: Inverse Relations and Functions Solution

Write the inverse of relation P as a table. Explain if the inverse represents a function or not.

P1

x y
12 –2.5
13 –1.8
14 –2.5
15 –0.3
16 –1.8

 P1 is a function because one output exists for every input. (Or the domain values do not repeat.)

Note

Q: What values pair with the domain and range?
A: The domain is all x-values and the range is all y-values.

 

Q: How do you write the inverse of a relation?
A: Reverse all of the domain and range values.
