HW 6 – Inverse Functions
Directions: Find the inverse of each relation. State whether the relation is a function. State
whether the inverse is a function.
Directions: (a) Show that f and g are inverse functions algebraically and (b) verify that f and g
are inverse functions numerically by creating a table of values for each function.

Directions: Show that f and g are inverse functions algebraically. Use a GDC to graph f and g
in the same viewing window. Describe the relationship between the graphs.
