Here we’re asked to graph the following function and use the horizontal line test to determine if it has an inverse. And if so, find the inverse function and graph it. So let’s start by graphing the given function, f(x) = 2x – 4, and remember that f(x) is the same as y, so we can rewrite the function as y = 2x – 4. Now, we simply graph the line y = 2x – 4, which has a y-intercept of -4, and a slope of 2, or 2/1, so we go up 2 and over 1, plot a second point and graph our line, which we’ll call f(x). Next, we’re asked to use the horizontal line test to determine if the function has an inverse. Since there’s no way to draw a horizontal line that intersects more than one point on the function, the function does have an inverse. So we need to find the inverse and graph it. To find the inverse, we switch the x and the y in original function, y = 2x – 4, to get x = 2y – 4. Next, we solve for y, so we add 4 to both sides to get x + 4 = 2y, and divide both sides by 2 to get 1/2x + 2 = y. Next, let’s flip our equation so that y is on the left side, and we have y = 1/2x + 2. Finally, we replace y with the notation that we use for the inverse function of f, as shown here. And remember that we’re asked to graph the inverse as well, so we graph y = ½ x + 2. Our y-intercept is positive 2, and our slope is ½, so we go up one and over 2, plot a second point, graph the line, and label it as the inverse function of f. Notice that the graph of the inverse function is a reflection of the original function in the line y = x.

In this example, we’re given a relation in the form of a chart, and we’re asked to find the inverse of the relation, then graph the relation and its inverse. To find the inverse of a relation, we simply switch the x and y values in each point. In other words, the point (1, -4) becomes (-4, 1), the point (2, 0) becomes (0, 2), the point (3, 1) becomes (1, 3), and the point (6, -1) becomes (-1, 6). Next, we’re asked to graph the relation and its inverse, so let’s first graph the relation. Notice that the relation contains the points (1, -4,), (2, 0), (3, 1), and (6, -1). And the inverse of the relation contains the points (-4, 1), (0, 2), (1, 3), and (-1, 6). Finally, it’s important to understand the following relationship between the graph of a relation and its inverse. If we draw a diagonal line through the coordinate system, which is the line that has the equation y = x, notice that the relation and its inverse are mirror images of each other in this line. In other words, the inverse of a relation is the reflection of the original relation in the line y = x.

Area Between Two Curves

By The Organic Chemistry Tutor

This calculus video tutorial provides a basic introduction in finding the area between two curves with respect to y and with respect to x. It explains how to set up the definite integral to calculate the area of the shaded region bounded by the two curves. In order to find the points of intersection, you need to set the two curves equal to each other and solve for x or y. You need to be familiar with some basic integration techniques for this lesson. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems.
