Green Bridge Learning Resource For Graphs Of A Function And Its Inverse

Overview

The inverse of a function undoes it, and there is a beautiful geometric link between the two: each is the mirror image of the other in the line \(y = x\). Seeing this reflection makes inverse functions intuitive rather than abstract.

In this lesson you will use sketch graphs to show the relationship between a function and its inverse, recognising that each is the reflection of the other in the line \(y = x\).
