How to solve mutually inverse functions. Inverse function. Theory and application

Let us assume that we have a certain function y = f (x), which is strictly monotonic (decreasing or increasing) and continuous on the domain of definition x ∈ a; b ; its range of values ​​y ∈ c ; d, and on the interval c; d in this case we will have a function defined x = g (y) with a range of values ​​a ; b. The second function will also be continuous and strictly monotonic. With respect to y = f (x) it will be an inverse function. That is, we can talk about the inverse function x = g (y) when y = f (x) will either decrease or increase over a given interval.

These two functions, f and g, will be mutually inverse.

Why do we even need the concept of inverse functions?

We need this to solve the equations y = f (x), which are written precisely using these expressions.

Let's say we need to find a solution to the equation cos (x) = 1 3 . Its solutions will be two points: x = ± a r c o c s 1 3 + 2 π · k, k ∈ Z

For example, the inverse cosine and cosine functions will be inverse to each other.

Let's look at several problems to find functions that are inverse to given ones.

Example 1

Condition: what is the inverse function for y = 3 x + 2?

Solution

The domain of definitions and range of values ​​of the function specified in the condition is the set of all real numbers. Let's try to solve this equation through x, that is, by expressing x through y.

We get x = 1 3 y - 2 3 . This is the inverse function we need, but y will be the argument here, and x will be the function. Let's rearrange them to get a more familiar notation:

Answer: the function y = 1 3 x - 2 3 will be the inverse of y = 3 x + 2.

Both mutually inverse functions can be displayed on a graph as follows:

We see the symmetry of both graphs regarding y = x. This line is the bisector of the first and third quadrants. We have obtained a proof of one of the properties of mutually inverse functions, which we will discuss later.

Let's take an example in which we need to find the logarithmic function that is the inverse of a given exponential function.

Example 2

Condition: determine which function will be the inverse for y = 2 x.

Solution

For a given function, the domain of definition is all real numbers. The range of values ​​lies in the interval 0; + ∞ . Now we need to express x in terms of y, that is, solve the specified equation in terms of x. We get x = log 2 y. Let's rearrange the variables and get y = log 2 x.

As a result, we have obtained exponential and logarithmic functions, which will be mutually inverse to each other throughout the entire domain of definition.

Answer: y = log 2 x .

On the graph, both functions will look like this:

Basic properties of mutually inverse functions

In this paragraph we list the main properties of the functions y = f (x) and x = g (y), which are mutually inverse.

Definition 1

  1. We already derived the first property earlier: y = f (g (y)) and x = g (f (x)).
  2. The second property follows from the first: the domain of definition y = f (x) will coincide with the range of values ​​of the inverse function x = g (y), and vice versa.
  3. The graphs of functions that are inverse will be symmetrical with respect to y = x.
  4. If y = f (x) is increasing, then x = g (y) will increase, and if y = f (x) is decreasing, then x = g (y) will also decrease.

We advise you to pay close attention to the concepts of domain of definition and domain of meaning of functions and never confuse them. Let's assume that we have two mutually inverse functions y = f (x) = a x and x = g (y) = log a y. According to the first property, y = f (g (y)) = a log a y. This equality will be true only if positive values y , and for negative logarithms the logarithm is not defined, so don’t rush to write down that a log a y = y . Be sure to check and add that this is only true when y is positive.

But the equality x = f (g (x)) = log a a x = x will be true for any real values ​​of x.

Don't forget about this point, especially if you have to work with trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions. So, a r c sin sin 7 π 3 ≠ 7 π 3, because the arcsine range is π 2; π 2 and 7 π 3 are not included in it. The correct entry will be

a r c sin sin 7 π 3 = a r c sin sin 2 π + π 3 = = a r c sin sin π 3 = π 3

But sin a r c sin 1 3 = 1 3 is a correct equality, i.e. sin (a r c sin x) = x for x ∈ - 1 ; 1 and a r c sin (sin x) = x for x ∈ - π 2 ; π 2. Always be careful with the range and scope of inverse functions!

  • Basic mutually inverse functions: power functions

If we have a power function y = x a , then for x > 0 the power function x = y 1 a will also be its inverse. Let's replace the letters and get, respectively, y = x a and x = y 1 a.

On the graph they will look like this (cases with positive and negative coefficient a):

1 Mutually inverse functions Two functions f and g are called mutually inverse if the formulas y=f(x) and x=g(y) express the same relationship between the variables x and y, i.e. if the equality y=f(x) is true if and only if the equality x=g(y) is true: y=f(x) x=g(y) If two functions f and g are mutually inverse, then g is called the inverse function for f and, conversely, f is the inverse function for g. For example, y=10 x and x=lgy are mutually inverse functions. Condition for the existence of a mutually inverse function A function f has an inverse if, from the relation y=f(x), the variable x can be uniquely expressed through y. There are functions for which it is impossible to unambiguously express the argument through the given value of the function. For example: 1. y= x. For a given positive number y, there are two values ​​of the argument x such that x = y. For example, if y=2, then x=2 or x= - 2. This means that it is impossible to express x unambiguously through y. Therefore, this function does not have a reciprocal. 2. y=x 2. x=, x= - 3. y=sinx. For a given value of y (y 1), there are infinitely many values ​​of x such that y=sinx. The function y=f(x) has an inverse if every straight line y=y 0 intersects the graph of the function y=f(x) at no more than one point (it may not intersect the graph at all if y 0 does not belong to the range of values ​​of the function f) . This condition can be formulated differently: the equation f(x)=y 0 for each y 0 has at most one solution. The condition that a function has an inverse is certainly satisfied if the function is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing. If f is strictly increasing, then for two different values ​​of the argument it takes different meanings, since a larger argument value corresponds to a larger function value. Consequently, the equation f(x)=y for a strictly monotone function has at most one solution. Exponential function y=a x is strictly monotonic, so it has an inverse logarithmic function. Many functions do not have inverses. If for some b the equation f(x)=b has more than one solution, then the function y=f(x) does not have an inverse. On a graph, this means that the line y=b intersects the graph of the function at more than one point. For example, y=x 2 ; y=sinx; y=tgx.

2 The ambiguity of the solution to the equation f(x) = b can be dealt with by reducing the domain of definition of the function f so that its range of values ​​does not change, but so that it takes each value once. For example, y=x 2, x 0; y=sinx, ; y=tgx,. General rule finding the inverse function for a function: 1. solving the equation for x, we find; 2. Changing the designations of the variable x to y, and y to x, we obtain the inverse function of the given one. Properties of mutually inverse functions Identities Let f and g be mutually inverse functions. This means that the equalities y=f(x) and x=g(y) are equivalent: f(g(y))=y and g(f(x))=x. For example, 1. Let f be an exponential function and g a logarithmic function. We get: i. 2. The functions y=x2, x0 and y= are mutually inverse. We have two identities: and for x 0. Domain of definition Let f and g be mutually inverse functions. The domain of the function f coincides with the domain of the function g, and, conversely, the domain of the function f coincides with the domain of the function g. Example. The domain of definition of the exponential function is the entire numerical axis R, and its range of values ​​is the set of all positive numbers. For a logarithmic function it is the opposite: the domain of definition is the set of all positive numbers, and the range of values ​​is the entire set of R. Monotonicity If one of the mutually inverse functions is strictly increasing, then the other is strictly increasing. Proof. Let x 1 and x 2 be two numbers lying in the domain of definition of the function g, and x 1

3 Graphs of mutually inverse functions Theorem. Let f and g be mutually inverse functions. The graphs of the functions y=f(x) and x=g(y) are symmetrical to each other with respect to the bisector of the angle how. Proof. By the definition of mutually inverse functions, the formulas y=f(x) and x=g(y) express the same dependence between the variables x and y, which means that this dependence is depicted by the same graph of some curve C. Curve C is a graph functions y=f(x). Let's take an arbitrary point P(a; b) C. This means that b=f(a) and at the same time a=g(b). Let us construct a point Q symmetrical to the point P relative to the bisector of the angle xy. Point Q will have coordinates (b; a). Since a=g(b), then point Q belongs to the graph of the function y=g(x): indeed, for x=b, the value of y=a is equal to g(x). Thus, all points symmetrical to the points of the curve C relative to the indicated straight line lie on the graph of the function y=g(x). Examples of functions whose graphs are mutually inverse: y=e x and y=lnx; y=x 2 (x 0) and y= ; y=2x 4 and y= +2.

4 Derivative of an inverse function Let f and g be mutually inverse functions. The graphs of the functions y=f(x) and x=g(y) are symmetrical to each other with respect to the bisector of the angle how. Let's take the point x=a and calculate the value of one of the functions at this point: f(a)=b. Then, by definition of the inverse function, g(b)=a. The points (a; f(a))=(a; b) and (b; g(b))=(b; a) are symmetrical about the straight line l. Since the curves are symmetrical, the tangents to them are symmetrical with respect to the straight line l. From symmetry, the angle of one of the lines with the x-axis is equal to the angle of the other line with the y-axis. If a straight line forms an angle α with the x-axis, then its angular coefficient is equal to k 1 =tgα; then the second straight line has an angular coefficient k 2 =tg(α)=ctgα=. Thus, the angular coefficients of lines symmetrical with respect to straight line l are mutually inverse, i.e. k 2 =, or k 1 k 2 =1. Moving on to derivatives and taking into account that the slope of the tangent is the value of the derivative at the point of contact, we conclude: The values ​​of the derivatives of mutually inverse functions at the corresponding points are mutually inverse, i.e. Example 1. Prove that the function f(x) = x 3, reversible. Solution. y=f(x)=x 3. The inverse function will be the function y=g(x)=. Let's find the derivative of the function g:. Those. =. Task 1.

Definition of the inverse function and its properties: lemma on the mutual monotonicity of the direct and inverse functions; symmetry of graphs of direct and inverse functions; theorems on the existence and continuity of the inverse function for a function that is strictly monotonic on a segment, interval and half-interval. Examples of inverse functions. An example of solving a problem. Proofs of properties and theorems.

Definition and properties

Definition of an inverse function
Let a function have a domain of definition X and a set of values ​​Y. And let it have the property:
for everyone.
Then for any element from the set Y one can associate only one element of the set X for which . This correspondence defines a function called inverse function To . The inverse function is denoted as follows:
.

From the definition it follows that
;
for everyone;
for everyone.

Property of symmetry of graphs of direct and inverse functions
The graphs of direct and inverse functions are symmetrical with respect to the straight line.

Theorem on the existence and continuity of an inverse function on an interval
Let the function be continuous and strictly increasing (decreasing) on ​​the segment. Then the inverse function is defined and continuous on the segment, which strictly increases (decreases).

For an increasing function. For decreasing - .

Theorem on the existence and continuity of an inverse function on an interval
Let the function be continuous and strictly increasing (decreasing) on ​​an open finite or infinite interval. Then the inverse function is defined and continuous on the interval, which strictly increases (decreases).

For an increasing function.
For decreasing: .

In a similar way, we can formulate the theorem on the existence and continuity of the inverse function on a half-interval.

If the function is continuous and strictly increases (decreases) on the half-interval or , then on the half-interval or the inverse function is defined, which strictly increases (decreases). Here .

If strictly increasing, then the intervals and correspond to the intervals and . If strictly decreasing, then the intervals and correspond to the intervals and .
This theorem is proven in the same way as the theorem on the existence and continuity of an inverse function on an interval.

Examples of inverse functions

arcsine

Graphs y = sin x and inverse function y = arcsin x.

Let's consider trigonometric function sinus: . It is defined and continuous for all values ​​of the argument, but is not monotonic. However, if you narrow the scope of definition, you can identify monotonous areas. So, on the segment , the function is defined, continuous, strictly increasing and takes values ​​from -1 to +1 . Therefore, it has an inverse function on it, which is called arcsine. The arcsine has a domain and a set of values.

Logarithm

Graphs y = 2 x and inverse function y = log 2 x.

The exponential function is defined, continuous and strictly increasing for all values ​​of the argument. Its value set is an open interval. The inverse function is the logarithm to base two. It has a domain of definition and a set of meanings.

Square root

Graphs y = x 2 and inverse function.

Power function defined and continuous for everyone. The set of its values ​​is the half-interval. But it is not monotonic for all values ​​of the argument. However, on the half-interval it is continuous and increases strictly monotonically. Therefore, if we take the set as the domain of definition, then there is an inverse function called square root. An inverse function has a domain and a set of values.

Example. Proof of the existence and uniqueness of a root of degree n

Prove that the equation , where n is a natural number, is a real non-negative number, has a unique solution on the set of real numbers, . This solution is called the n root of a. That is, you need to show that any non-negative number has a unique root of degree n.

Consider a function of the variable x:
(P1) .

Let us prove that it is continuous.
Using the definition of continuity, we show that
.
We apply Newton's binomial formula:
(P2)
.
Let's apply the arithmetic properties of function limits. Since , then only the first term is nonzero:
.
Continuity has been proven.

Let us prove that function (A1) strictly increases as .
Let's take arbitrary numbers connected by inequalities:
, , .
We need to show that . Let's introduce variables. Then . Since , then from (A2) it is clear that . Or
.
Strict increase has been proven.

Let's find the set of values ​​of the function at .
At point , .
Let's find the limit.
To do this, we apply Bernoulli's inequality. When we have:
.
Since , then and .
Applying the property of inequalities for infinitely large functions, we find that .
Thus, , .

According to the inverse function theorem, the inverse function is defined and continuous on an interval. That is, for anyone there is a unique one that satisfies the equation. Since we have , this means that for any , the equation has a unique solution, which is called a root of degree n of the number x:
.

Proofs of properties and theorems

Proof of the lemma on the mutual monotonicity of the direct and inverse functions

Let a function have a domain of definition X and a set of values ​​Y. Let us prove that it has an inverse function. Based on , we need to prove that
for everyone.

Let's assume the opposite. Let there be numbers, so that . Let it be so. Otherwise, let's change the notation so that it is . Then, due to the strict monotonicity of f, one of the inequalities must be satisfied:
if f is strictly increasing;
if f is strictly decreasing.
That is . A contradiction arose. Therefore, it has an inverse function.

Let the function be strictly increasing. Let us prove that the inverse function is also strictly increasing. Let us introduce the following notation:
. That is, we need to prove that if , then .

Let's assume the opposite. Let it be, but.

If, then. This case disappears.

Let . Then, due to the strict increase of the function , , or . A contradiction arose. Therefore, only chance is possible.

The lemma is proven for a strictly increasing function. This lemma can be proven in a similar way for a strictly decreasing function.

Proof of the property about the symmetry of the graphs of direct and inverse functions

Let be an arbitrary point on the graph of a direct function:
(2.1) .
Let us show that a point symmetrical to point A relative to a straight line belongs to the graph of the inverse function:
.
From the definition of the inverse function it follows that
(2.2) .
Thus, we need to show (2.2).

Graph of the inverse function y = f -1(x) is symmetrical to the graph of the direct function y = f (x) relative to the straight line y = x.

From points A and S we lower perpendiculars to the coordinate axis. Then
, .

Through point A we draw a line perpendicular to line . Let the lines intersect at point C. We construct a point S on a straight line so that . Then point S will be symmetrical to point A relative to the straight line.

Consider triangles and . They have two sides of equal length: and, and equal angles between them: . Therefore they are congruent. Then
.

Consider a triangle. Since then
.
The same applies to the triangle:
.
Then
.

Now we find and:
;
.

So, equation (2.2):
(2.2)
is satisfied, since , and (2.1) is satisfied:
(2.1) .

Since we chose point A arbitrarily, this applies to all points on the graph:
all points on the graph of a function, symmetrically reflected with respect to the straight line, belong to the graph of the inverse function.
Next we can change places. As a result we get that
all points of the graph of a function, symmetrically reflected with respect to a straight line, belong to the graph of the function.
It follows that the graphs of functions and are symmetrical with respect to the straight line.

The property has been proven.

Proof of the theorem on the existence and continuity of the inverse function on an interval

Let denote the domain of definition of the function - the segment.

1. Let us show that the set of function values ​​is the segment:
,
Where .

Indeed, since the function is continuous on the segment, then, according to Weierstrass’s theorem, it reaches a minimum and a maximum on it. Then, by the Bolzano-Cauchy theorem, the function takes all values ​​from the segment. That is, for anyone there is , for which . Since there is a minimum and a maximum, the function takes only values ​​from the set on the segment.

2. Since the function is strictly monotonic, then according to the above, there is an inverse function, which is also strictly monotonic (increases if it increases; and decreases if it decreases). The domain of the inverse function is the set, and the set of values ​​is the set.

3. Now we prove that the inverse function is continuous.

3.1. Let there be an arbitrary internal point of the segment: . Let us prove that the inverse function is continuous at this point.

Let the point correspond to it. Since the inverse function is strictly monotonic, that is, the interior point of the segment:
.
According to the definition of continuity, we need to prove that for any there is a function such that
(3.1) for everyone.

Note that we can take it as small as we like. Indeed, if we have found a function for which inequalities (3.1) are satisfied for sufficiently small values ​​of , then they will automatically be satisfied for any large values ​​of , if we put at .

Let us take it so small that the points and belong to the segment:
.
Let us introduce and arrange the notation:



.

Let us transform the first inequality (3.1):
(3.1) for everyone.
;
;
;
(3.2) .
Since it is strictly monotonic, it follows that
(3.3.1) , if it increases;
(3.3.2) , if it decreases.
Since the inverse function is also strictly monotonic, inequalities (3.3) imply inequalities (3.2).

For any ε > 0 there is δ, so |f -1 (y) - f -1 (y 0) |< ε for all |y - y 0 | < δ .

Inequalities (3.3) define an open interval, the ends of which are distant from the point at distances and . Let there be the smallest of these distances:
.
Due to the strict monotonicity of , , . Therefore and. Then the interval will lie in the interval defined by inequalities (3.3). And for all values ​​belonging to it, inequalities (3.2) will be satisfied.

So we found that for small enough , there is , so that
at .
Now let's change the notation.
For small enough, there is such a thing, so
at .
This means that the inverse function is continuous throughout internal points.

3.2. Now consider the ends of the domain of definition. Here all the reasoning remains the same. You just need to consider one-sided neighborhoods of these points. Instead of a dot there will be or, and instead of a dot - or.

So, for an increasing function , .
at .
The inverse function is continuous at the point, since for any sufficiently small there is , so that
at .

For a decreasing function, .
The inverse function is continuous at the point, since for any sufficiently small there is , so that
at .
The inverse function is continuous at the point, since for any sufficiently small there is , so that
at .

The theorem has been proven.

Proof of the theorem on the existence and continuity of the inverse function on an interval

Let denote the domain of definition of the function - an open interval. Let be the set of its values. According to the above, there is an inverse function that has a domain of definition, a set of values ​​and is strictly monotonic (increases if it increases and decreases if it decreases). It remains for us to prove that
1) the set is an open interval, and that
2) the inverse function is continuous on it.
Here .

1. Let us show that the set of function values ​​is an open interval:
.

Like any non-empty set whose elements have a comparison operation, the set of function values ​​has lower and upper bounds:
.
Here and can be finite numbers or symbols and .

1.1. Let us show that the points and do not belong to the set of function values. That is, a set of values ​​cannot be a segment.

If or is point at infinity: or , then such a point is not an element of the set. Therefore, it cannot belong to multiple values.

Let (or ) be a finite number. Let's assume the opposite. Let the point (or ) belong to the set of function values. That is, there is such for which (or). Let us take points and satisfying the inequalities:
.
Since the function is strictly monotonic, then
, if f increases;
, if f is decreasing.
That is, we have found a point at which the function value is less (more ). But this contradicts the definition of the lower (upper) bound, according to which
for everyone .
Therefore the points And cannot belong to multiple values functions .

1.2. Now we will show that the set of values ​​is an interval , and not by combining intervals and points. That is, for any point exists , for which .

According to the definitions of lower and upper bounds, in any neighborhood of points And contains at least one element of the set . Let - an arbitrary number belonging to the interval : . Then for the neighborhood exists , for which
.
For the surrounding area exists , for which
.

Because And , That . Then
(4.1.1) If increases;
(4.1.2) If decreases.
Inequalities (4.1) are easy to prove by contradiction. But you can use, according to which on the set there is an inverse function , which strictly increases if increases and strictly decreases if decreases . Then we immediately obtain inequalities (4.1).

So we have a segment , Where If increases;
If decreases.
At the ends of the segment the function takes values And . Because , then by the Bolzano-Cauchy theorem, there is a point , for which .

Because , then we have thereby shown that for any exists , for which . This means that the set of function values is an open interval .

2. Now we will show that the inverse function is continuous at an arbitrary point interval : . To do this, apply to the segment . Because , then the inverse function continuous on the segment , including at the point .

The theorem has been proven.

A graph of a function is shown on the interactive whiteboard for students. The teacher formulates a task - consider the graph of a function and list the studied properties of the function. Students list the properties of a function in accordance with the research design. The teacher, to the right of the graph of the function, writes down the named properties with a marker on the interactive board.

Function properties:

At the end of the study, the teacher reports that today in the lesson they will become acquainted with another property of a function - reversibility. To meaningfully study new material, the teacher invites the children to get acquainted with the main questions that students must answer at the end of the lesson. The questions are written on a regular board and each student has them as handouts (distributed before the lesson)

  1. Which function is called invertible?
  2. Is any function invertible?
  3. What function is called the inverse of a datum?
  4. How are the domain of definition and the set of values ​​of a function and its inverse related?
  5. If a function is given analytically, how can one define the inverse function by a formula?
  6. If a function is given graphically, how to graph its inverse function?

3. Explanation of new material.

Target - generate knowledge on a new topic in accordance with the program material; study the property of reversibility of a function and teach how to find the inverse function of a given one; develop substantive speech.

The teacher presents the material in accordance with the material in the paragraph. On the interactive whiteboard, the teacher compares the graphs of two functions whose domains of definition and sets of values ​​are the same, but one of the functions is monotonic and the other is not, thereby introducing students to the concept of an invertible function.

The teacher then formulates the definition of an invertible function and conducts a proof of the invertible function theorem using the graph of a monotonic function on the interactive whiteboard.

Definition 1: The function y=f(x), x X is called reversible, if it takes any of its values ​​only at one point of the set X.

Theorem: If a function y=f(x) is monotonic on a set X, then it is invertible.

Proof:

  1. Let the function y=f(x) increases by X and let x 1 ≠x 2- two points of the set X.
  2. To be specific, let x 1< x 2.
    Then from the fact that x 1< x 2 it follows that f(x 1) < f(x 2).
  3. Thus, different values ​​of the argument correspond to different values ​​of the function, i.e. the function is invertible.

(As the proof of the theorem progresses, the teacher uses a marker to make all the necessary explanations on the drawing)

Before formulating the definition of an inverse function, the teacher asks students to determine which of the proposed functions is invertible? The interactive whiteboard shows graphs of functions and writes several analytically defined functions:

B)

G) y = 2x + 5

D) y = -x 2 + 7

The teacher introduces the definition of an inverse function.

Definition 2: Let the invertible function y=f(x) defined on the set X And E(f)=Y. Let's match each one y from Y that's the only meaning X, at which f(x)=y. Then we get a function that is defined on Y, A X– function range

This function is designated x=f -1 (y) and is called the inverse of the function y=f(x).

Students are asked to draw a conclusion about the connection between the domain of definition and the set of values ​​of inverse functions.

To consider the question of how to find the inverse of a given function, the teacher attracted two students. The day before, the children received an assignment from the teacher to independently analyze the analytical and graphical methods of finding the inverse function of a given function. The teacher acted as a consultant in preparing students for the lesson.

Message from the first student.

Note: the monotonicity of the function is sufficient condition for the existence of the inverse function. But it is not a necessary condition.

The student gave examples of various situations when a function is not monotonic but invertible, when a function is not monotonic and not invertible, when it is monotonic and invertible

The student then introduces students to a method for finding the inverse function given analytically.

Finding algorithm

  1. Make sure the function is monotonic.
  2. Express the variable x in terms of y.
  3. Rename variables. Instead of x=f -1 (y) write y=f -1 (x)

Then he solves two examples to find the inverse function of a given one.

Example 1: Show that for the function y=5x-3 there is an inverse function and find its analytical expression.

Solution. The linear function y=5x-3 is defined on R, increases on R, and its range of values ​​is R. This means that the inverse function exists on R. To find its analytical expression, solve the equation y=5x-3 for x; we get This is the required inverse function. It is defined and increasing on R.

Example 2: Show that for the function y=x 2, x≤0 there is an inverse function, and find its analytical expression.

The function is continuous, monotonic in its domain of definition, therefore, it is invertible. Having analyzed the domains of definition and sets of values ​​of the function, a corresponding conclusion is made about the analytical expression for the inverse function.

The second student makes a presentation about graphic method of finding the inverse function. During his explanation, the student uses the capabilities of the interactive whiteboard.

To obtain a graph of the function y=f -1 (x), inverse to the function y=f(x), it is necessary to transform the graph of the function y=f(x) symmetrically with respect to the straight line y=x.

During the explanation on the interactive whiteboard, the following task is performed:

Construct a graph of a function and a graph of its inverse function in the same coordinate system. Write down the analytical expression for the inverse function.

4. Primary consolidation of new material.

Target - establish the correctness and awareness of the understanding of the studied material, identify gaps in the primary understanding of the material, and correct them.

Students are divided into pairs. They are given sheets of tasks, in which they do the work in pairs. The time to complete the work is limited (5-7 minutes). One pair of students works on the computer, the projector turns off during this time and the rest of the children cannot see how the students work on the computer.

At the end of the time (it is assumed that the majority of students have completed the work), the students’ work is shown on the interactive board (the projector is turned on again), where it is determined during the check whether the task was completed correctly in pairs. If necessary, the teacher carries out correctional and explanatory work.
