Inverse relation
Understand Inverse relation in Grade 10 math: evaluate composite and inverse functions, identify domain and range with Saxon Algebra 2 methods Saxon Algebra 2.
Key Concepts
The inverse relation is the set of ordered pairs obtained by reversing the coordinates in each ordered pair of a relation $r$. So if $(a, b)$ is in relation $r$, then $(b, a)$ is in the inverse relation. The inverse may or may not be a function.
The inverse of the relation {( 4, 8), (0, 2), (3, 2)} is {(8, 4), (2, 0), (2, 3)}.: If a function's graph contains the point $( 3, 9)$, its inverse relation must contain the point $(9, 3)$.: Graphically, a point $(a, b)$ and its inverse $(b, a)$ are perfect reflections of each other across the line $y=x$.
Imagine your coordinates are wearing shoes on the wrong feet! To find the inverse, you just swap them. The x value becomes the y value, and the y value becomes the x value. If a point is $(5, 1)$, its inverse buddy is $(1, 5)$. This simple switcheroo gives you the inverse for every single point in the relation.
Common Questions
