State
The reciprocal-inverse error reads f⁻¹(x) as 1/f(x); the −1 marks the reverse machine, not an exponent on the output.
Show
For f(x) = 2x + 3: f⁻¹(11) = 4, while 1/f(11) = 1/25 — not remotely the same number.
Watch for
On functions, the −1 names an inverse; Video 031's reciprocal rule governs powers, not machines.

- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
