Inverse Functions (Complete Guide)

Learn about inverse functions in this complete guide. We discuss how to find the inverse of a function intuitively as well as algebraically. We discuss inverse function notation as well as the graphic interpretation of the inverse. In addition, know how to tell if the inverse of a function is a function as well as how to verify that functions are inverses of each other by using composition of functions. Lastly, we discuss how to restrict the domain of a function so that it's inverse will be a function.

Mario is the man. This is where I come for math help. He explains the concepts so clearly.

[@MariosMathTutoring]

Glad you like my videos and that they are helping you!

[@wnJhntn]

Mario is the man

[@tonyyang5343]

Hi Mario, you are one of the best math teachers I have seen so far. Your teaching is so clear and so good making complex math simple. Well done. I wish other math teachers can learn from you.

[@MariosMathTutoring]

Thanks Tony, I appreciate your positive words.

[@patmix2012]

The way you broke this down made things so clear for me, you are a life saver! Thank you so much

[@user-cx7oe4qo5z]

Thanks Mario. You are a great teacher. You do a great job explaining math concepts in yours videos.

[@MariosMathTutoring]

I appreciate that!

[@deeannm8456]

Great, and thorough explanation. Thanks!

[@jialindu3388]

thank you so much Mario, I learned lots of "short-cuts" from these videos that my teachers have never taught in school👍

[@shelleyappleton8686]

Excellent, very concise and clear!! Thank you!

[@adnkir1234]

Amazing, just amazing. You are so gifted sir. Best teacher. A wonderful human. Teaches in such a clear way.

[@visualizd]

Thank you so much for this video, it is incredibly helpful! Please make more of these guides!

[@MariosMathTutoring]

More to come!

[@annaboo8411]

I LOVE YOU MARIO IVE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR YEARS AND YOU’VE BEEN THE FATHER IVE NEVER HAD

[@MariosMathTutoring]

Glad my videos have helped you.

[@fouziasiddique6536]

Very well explained!

[@thedeathofbirth0763]

Excellent introductory on inverse functions, my only criticism is that the adds are in a very inappropriate time. Please make sure they are played when you are computing and not when you are explaining .

[@tebogolanga9536]

Thank you sir, very clear

[@snezhanashibalkova4966]

omg you are awesome !!! i understood everything!!! thanks a lot)))

[@marrsineadmozol2462]

Thank youu so much sir I love ur teaching skills. Thank youuuuuu!

[@martincollins6632]

Great treatment of the commonly encountered question types found and concepts in such a short video. Probably a little too much breadth form my typical students who are quire weak. However, rock solid stuff for a student with a little more skill.

[@lumiarosestar270]

As someone who is interested in teaching math, what are some things you do before making these videos? Do you review the techniques and concepts or is all the information just perfectly stored in your memory? Personally, I struggle with keeping everything in my mind and find it discouraging when I can't dish out all that I've learned in my college courses.

[@MariosMathTutoring]

Good question! I’ve been tutoring math for many years so I’ve try to refine the explanations over the years to try and make it easier for students to grasp. You can use my videos and others on KZbin to give you inspiration and I’m sure you will develop your own preferred style of teaching. Hope that helps …

[@zanonoza4918]

Finally 👍. Thank you Mario .

[@MariosMathTutoring]

You’re welcome!

[@memexo1751]

what is the inverse function of F^-1(T) when T={3, 5, 4} ? is it {-3, -5, -4}?

[@rafscn]

Hi, for the last question, what transformation does the denominator indicate? x + 1 clearly indicates that the function will be neither stressed or compressed, but rather shifted 1 unit to the left. On the other hand, I believe that the denominator is not associated with the “x”. So what transformation would it have?

[@MariosMathTutoring]

[@aazad3760]

Thank

[@maricorgomez766]

How will I know which inverse function choose in restricting the domain

[@aidantilesetter1862]

thanks mario

[@suzanraban470]

I need help with really hard word problems

[@suzanraban470]

Regarding quadratics, completing the square, and factoring

[@geoterminus6040]

Thanks for the video. Would have been better with clear hand writing
