Finding the inverse of a rational function

[@jonathanyoe4189]

This guy is incredible...He has helped me with trig and calculus multiple times...He is a better teacher than my own!!

[@brianmclogan]

Jonathan Yoe thank you very much, very happy to be able to help

[@citlalivillegas9298]

same . my calc prof skips a shit load of steps bc he expects us to know.

[@ViiewsPlus]

Facts

[@jamesjeffri9604]

Same here too

[@scottescobedo]

We have to learn this in 8th grade. It sucks

[@brianmclogan]

lets go get it, let me know what else I can do to help you out!

[@osharapatterson8346]

I was wondering if f:x is the same as f(x) and if yes dies it require the same steps as shown in the video?

[@brianmclogan]

happy to help, keep up the hard work!

[@Lavielemm]

I have literally been trying to figure out how to solve a math problem similar to this for two days now. This has been the ONLY video that has helped me figure it out and not made it stressful and confusing. Thank you SO MUCH!

[@dareal2669]

3 years later im really thanking you again for this great work may God bless you

[@prae197]

Omg thank you so much. I had to find the inverse of f(x) = 3x/(x-4) in pre-calc, and I really couldn't figure it out. This made a lot of sense. Very clear instructions, love it.

[@brianmclogan]

+Zachary Mitchell awesome! I am posting new videos and organizing them in playlists this year for Pre-Calc. Feel free to watch as you please PC Unit 1 is the first playlist I have created so far

[@prae197]

I'll have to keep that in mind once we get into heavier stuff. Unfortunately we're still on review, currently on inverses, domain, and range which is something I did a lot of last year. However I didn't have much experience with rational functions, so I was tripped up on how to find its inverse. My teacher said I can just skip it and we'll learn about it later, but math is my passion so I wanted to know anyway, plus knowing how will make it easier once we properly do rational functions, so win-win.

[@brianmclogan]

+Zachary Mitchell That is absolutely correct! Let me know if I can be of any assistance for the rest of the year?

@@brianmclogan ur a legend this helps a lot

[@guevara_w]

did you find it or steal didn't? .-. (the result is f-1(x)=4x/x-3)

[@violapatten710]

My pre-calculus teacher is so confusing, this cleared up a lot of questions I had. Thank you for explaining these problems so clearly!

[@briann_rt]

11 years Later, this is still more than useful... Incredible job, thank you very much 😍✨

[@brianmclogan]

You are very welcome

[@mikeconner9905]

I remember my High school math teacher telling me that its not his fault that we dont know what we needed to know to be prepared for his class. He said he will teach what he is paid to teach and thats it. I didn’t fault him because it was his choice but i realized then that being a good mathematician dosent make you a good math teacher. B. Mclogan is a great math teacher.

[@bungo7891]

No one was showing complicated examples of inverse rational functions thank you!

[@lunadraws1388]

Inverse functions rationally was so frustrating but now I understand and I hope it gets easier in the near future

[@afterift]

omg this made functions so much easier now. Thanks!

this video was 11 years ago and is still helping today wow THANK UUUUU

[@tired3869]

You saved my grade thank you!

[@muhammadshaheer2930]

I have my mathematics exam this coming Monday and the syllabus is way too much. I really needed help in finding the inverse of a function and your video helped me a lot! Thank you so much ❤️

[@czaplick7801]

So helpful, you're easy to follow and I found exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

[@brianmclogan]

you are very welcome!

[@Awre]

You are such a great teacher! Your students are so lucky

[@mcmagdiel3277]

This is so helpful very good teaching almost every algebra teacher I’ve had in high school was lazy and didn’t fully teach a concept which leaves blanks in my knowledge.

[@ayeeebae653]

i’m literally a freshman in college in precalc because im a complete dumbass in math and youre literally the only person that actually explains everything well omg

[@nadermunye4879]

Damn I didn’t know being in precalc freshman year is considered being a dumbass, isn’t that where almost everyone starts ?

[@QueefSniffer]

@@nadermunye4879 yes 😂

[@richiewitkowski7142]

Thanks man! an explanation rather than just watching someone doing it and having to figure out on your own what they are doing right

[@elliotmyers9074]

Thank you sir. I was hung up on the part where you factored and it made perfect sense watching your video. Keep em coming, cheers!

[@poluefemus]

OH, i was so confused in class because my teacher didnt show the parenthesis around the y-# part so i was so confused when another x term popped up out of nowhere

[@noahtucker8491]

you're a much better teacher than the my actual precalc teacher... thank you! :-)

[@brianmclogan]

You are very welcome!!

[@brianmclogan]

happy to help! let me know how I can help you further

[@Lanestadiumlegends]

Thanks for all these videos! Helping me big time with Pre-Cal!! My teacher is French and sometimes I just can't understand her! Wish you were my teacher!

[@nosibaelmuktar4349]

Thank you for the amazing and simple explanation. I’ve been going out of my mind trying to figure inverse functions the whole day. This really helped me. 👍🏼

[@brianmclogan]

you are very welcome Nosiba!!

[@TheCompanyVideoLog]

Thank you so much for this. I have been trying to figure out how to do this all day and I was missing a step but you cleared it up. Keep up the good work!

[@brianmclogan]

+John Rodriguez great to hear, happy to still make more and more videos!

[@outcastjedi4444]

I had to do a test and the last question had me match the steps in the correct order and I forgotten how to solve for the inverse function. The lesson I was given did not give good examples or at least a good one to provide me a guideline. This helped me out a lot!

[@leiaxy5794]

I just literally could solve my exercise with this! Thank you so much! You make it so much easier!

[@gelccc]

Omg allow me to shake your hand master, I needed this for one of the questions in my Cal quiz

[@esolbenjamin3645]

Thankyou Brian McLogan for your brilliant explanations about such Math, that help some of us a lot.

[@noahtillier5416]

OMG Thank you so much, my teacher didn't bother explaining this to us and I had no idea what to do. This has helped so much

[@irenesfabricsoftener9477]

Hey! I just want to thank you, you saved me lol. Our exam's at Thursday and my teacher forgot to discuss what to do if there are two x's. Thanks a lot!

[@brianmclogan]

thank you, glad I can help

[@gisselle3367]

Hi Brian, I luv ur videos but i am confused on the factoring y part at 2:50 :( where did the other y go and why is there a 1?

[@redmercurygaming7911]

Funny how this man just saved my life almost 10 years after posting this lol

This is great. Thanks, was literally stuck stepbro.

[@adrianbarticulo5305]

great example! Word of advice: you should always provide multiple examples as well for us to do it definitely helps to be able to practice more problems. Thank you Sir!

[@danielmaster8776]

Changing it from xy-y to y(x-1)? I never would have thought of that!

[@brianmclogan]

game changer : )

[@amintafreshi799]

how does this work??

[@danielmaster8776]

@@amintafreshi799 It's actually simple factoring. xy and -y have a common factor of y. So you take the y out of both of them, put it outside the parentheses, and what you have left is x-1. xy became x, and -y became -1.

great! Let me know how else I can help you?
