The functions are and
.
A function is the inverse of the function
if
for each
in the domain of
and
for each
in the domain of
.
.
.
Since , the functions
and
are inverse functions.
Graph:
\Graph the two functions.
\Draw the coordinate plane.
\Graph the curve and
.
Observe the graph:
\ and
have reflective property.
And the graphs of the two functions symmetric about the line .
Hence the functions and
are inverse functions of each other.
\
and
are inverse functions.
