State
Two functions are inverses exactly when each undoes the other under composition: f(f⁻¹(x)) = x and f⁻¹(f(x)) = x for every x in the right domain.
Show
With f(x) = 2x + 3 and f⁻¹(x) = (x − 3)/2: f(f⁻¹(11)) = f(4) = 11, and f⁻¹(f(4)) = f⁻¹(11) = 4.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
