Target
One-to-one functions are special functions which are invertible. When we take
its reverse, it is still be a function. And only one-to-one function has its inverse.
In your previous lesson, you have learned about the definition of rational
functions, representation of rational function through table of values and graphs,
you find the domain and range as well and you solve problems involving rational
functions.
This learning material will provide you with information and activities that will
help you understand about another type of function which is one-to-one functions
and its inverse.
After going through with this learning material, you are expected to:
1. represent real-life situations using one-to-one functions (M11GM-Id-1),
2. determine the inverse of one-to-one function (M11GM-Id-2),
3. represents an inverse function through its: (a) table of values, and
(b) graph (M11GM-Id-3),

One-to-one Functions
Definition: The function 𝑓 is one-to-one if for any 𝑥1 = 𝑥2 in the domain of 𝑓, then
𝑓(𝑥1 ) = 𝑓(𝑥2 ). That is, the same 𝑦-value is never paired with two different 𝑥-values.
You can easily understand the definition of one-to-one function by looking at
the examples below.
Example 1: Which of the two mapping diagrams is one-to-one function?

Figure 1 Figure 2
Solution: Table of values A shows one-to-one function since NO two inputs have
the same output. On the other hand, table of values B is NOT one-to-one function
since the two inputs, -2 and 2, have the same output which is 4.
Example 3: Which of the two equations is one-to-one function?
𝑓(𝑥) = 7𝑥 + 2 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 – 2
Solution: Let x = 2 and -2
𝑓(𝑥) = 7𝑥 + 2 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 – 2
𝑓(𝑥) = 7(2) + 2 = 16 𝑓(𝑥) = (2)2 – 2 = 2
𝑓(𝑥) = 7(−2) + 2 = −12 𝑓(𝑥) = (−2)2 – 2 = 2

LU_General Mathematics_Module4
The function 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝟕𝒙 + 𝟐 is an example of one-to-one function since NO two
𝑥-values have the same 𝑦-value. On the other hand, function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 – 2 is NOT
one-to-one function since the two 𝑥-values, −2 and 2, have the same 𝑦-value of 2.
Figure 1 Figure 2
Solution: Figure 1 shows one-to-one function since the horizontal line does not
intersect the graph at more than one point. On the other hand, figure 2 is NOT one-
to-one function because the horizontal line intersects more than one. By the
definition of horizontal line test, a function is one-to one if each horizontal line does
not intersect the graph at more than one point.
Notes to the Teacher
Figure 2 is a graph of quadratic function. It is a function because it satisfies the
vertical line test but it is not one-to-one function because it does not satisfy the
horizontal line test. For a graph to be considered as one-to-one function, the graph
must satisfy both vertical and horizontal line test.

Inverse of One-to-one Functions
Definition: Let 𝑓 be a one-to-one function with domain A and range B. Then its
inverse function denoted by 𝒇−𝟏 , has domain B and range A and is defined by
𝑓 −1 (𝑦) = 𝑥 if and only if 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑦 for any 𝑦 in B.
The definition of inverse function simply explains that the inverse of the
function can be done through interchanging the domain and range of the function.
A function has an inverse if and only if it is one-to-one function. And to
determine the inverse of one-to-one function we need to follow the steps below:
1. Replace 𝑓(𝑥) with y
2. Interchange 𝑥 and 𝑦 variables
3. Solving for y in terms of 𝑥
4. Replace 𝑦 with 𝑓 −1 (𝑥).
Now, let’s have examples.
∴ The equation 𝑦 = ±√𝑥 does not represent one-to-one function because there
are some 𝑥-values that corresponds to two different 𝑦-values. Therefore,
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 has no inverse function.

Now, how can we verify whether the two functions are really inverses of one
another? Can you still remember the composition of function? To verify that the two
functions are inverses to one another, we need to evaluate 𝑓(𝑓 −1 (𝑥)) and 𝑓 −1 (𝑓 (𝑥)).
If 𝑓(𝑓 −1 (𝑥)) and 𝑓 −1 (𝑓 (𝑥)) are both equal to 𝑥, then we can say that the two functions
𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑓 −1 (𝑥) are inverses of one another.

of one-to-one function.

Property of an inverse of a one-to-one function
Given a one-to-one function 𝑓(𝑥) and its inverse 𝑓 −1 (𝑥), then the following are true:
❖ The inverse of 𝑓 −1 (𝑥) is 𝑓(𝑥).
❖ For all x in the domain of 𝑓 −1 , 𝑓(𝑓 −1 (𝑥)) = 𝑥.
❖ For all x in the domain of 𝑓, 𝑓 −1 (𝑓 (𝑥)) = 𝑥.

y 5 6 7 8 y 1 2 3 4
A graph of an inverse can be obtained by reflecting the graph about the line
𝒚 = 𝒙. To graph a function and its inverse, all you have to do is graph the function
and then switch all 𝑥 and 𝑦 values in each point to graph the inverse. Just look at
all those values switching places from the 𝑓(𝑥) function to its inverse 𝑓 −1 (𝑥) (and
back again), reflected over the line 𝑦 = 𝑥.

To understand more about representation of an inverse function through
tables of values and graph, let’s consider below examples.
Example 1: Find the inverse function of 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 3 using tables of values and
sketch the graph.
Steps:
1. Create a table of values. You may use different values.
(Your graph will be the same no matter what values you use.)
x -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1
y
2. Complete the table. Solve the value of 𝑦 by substituting the value of 𝑥 to
the equation 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 3.
x -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1
y = 2(-4) +3 y = 2(-3) +3 y = 2(-2) +3 y = 2(-1) +3 y = 2(0) +3 y = 2(1) +3
y = -5 y = -3 y = -1 y=1 y =3 y=5
y -5 -3 -1 1 3 5
3. To find the inverse of the function, interchange the values of 𝑥 and 𝑦.

Observe the graphs of a function and its inverse. Are the graphs symmetrical?
Notice that the graphs of the original function and its inverse are reflections of each
other along the line 𝑦 = 𝑥. When the images are folded along that line, the graphs
will coincide.

Domain and Range of an Inverse Function
Suppose we have a function 𝑓(𝑥) whose inverse is 𝑓 −1 (𝑥). Then, the domain of the
inverse function 𝑓 −1 (𝑥) is the range of 𝑓(𝑥) and the range of the inverse function
𝑓 −1 (𝑥) is the domain of 𝑓(𝑥).
We all know that domain is a set of all 𝑥-values of the given function and
range is the set of all 𝑦-values of the given function. To fully understand about
the domain and range of inverse function, consider the examples below:
Example 1: If the domain of the function is (1, ∞) and the range of the function
is (−∞, -4). Find the domain and range of the inverse function.
Solution: 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑓 −1 (𝑥)
Domain (1, ∞) (−∞, -4)
Range (−∞, -4) (1, ∞)
Interchange the domain and range of the original function to get the domain
and range of the inverse function. Thus, the domain of the inverse function is
(−∞, -4) and the range of the inverse function is (1, ∞).
Example 2: Find the domain and range of the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 + 5 and its
inverse.
Solution:
Domain: 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 + 5 Given
𝑦 = 3𝑥 + 5 Replace 𝑓(𝑥) with 𝑦
From the equation y = 3x + 5, determine x- values that will not make the y-value undefined. Since, for every value of
x we substitute, we can get value of y, ∴ we can say that the set of x-values or the domain is “all real numbers”.

From the equation y = 2x + 1, determine x- values that will not make the y-value undefined. Since, for every value of

the range is “all real numbers except 0”.
y = All ℝ except 0 Range of the inverse function
Therefore, the domain of the inverse function is All ℝ except 3 and the
range if All ℝ except 0.

9. Andrea and Andrew are seatmates; their teacher asks them to determine the
2𝑥+3
inverse of the one-to-one function 𝑓(𝑥) = . Below are their solutions. Who
3𝑥−5
among the two got the correct answer?
Andrea’s solution Andrew’s solution
2𝑥 + 3 2𝑥 + 3
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) =
3𝑥 − 5 3𝑥 − 5
2𝑥 + 3 𝑦 = 3𝑥−5
2𝑥+3
𝑦=
3𝑥 − 5 2𝑦 + 3
2𝑦+3
𝑥 = 3𝑦−5 𝑥=
3𝑦 − 5
3𝑥𝑦 − 5𝑥 = 2𝑦 + 3 3𝑥𝑦 − 5𝑥 = 2𝑦 + 3
3𝑥𝑦– 2𝑦 = −5𝑥 + 3 3𝑥𝑦– 2𝑦 = 5𝑥 + 3
𝑦(3𝑥 − 2) = 5𝑥 + 3 𝑦(3𝑥 − 2) = 5𝑥 + 3
5𝑥 + 3 5𝑥 + 3
𝑦= 𝑦=
3𝑥 − 2 3𝑥 − 2
5𝑥 +3 5𝑥 + 3
𝑓 −1 (𝑥 ) = −1 ( )
𝑓 𝑥 =
3𝑥 − 2 3𝑥 − 2
A. Andrea B. Andrew C. Both D. None of them
