Session :1 The concept of an inverse; the inverses of 𝒚 = 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒙 𝐞𝐧 𝒚 = 𝒂𝒙𝟐

Below is an example of the inverse of 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑐

Please note that when we are dealing with the inverse of a parabola (quadratic function), we
encounter the problem that the inverse is not a function. This is because the quadratic function is
not a one-to-one relation (mapping). In order to ensure that we obtain a function for the inverse of
the parabola, we must restrict the domain of the original function (n.b. not the inverse). See the
example below:

. We can do this in two ways as illustrated below:.In the first diagram we have restricted the domain to
𝑥 ≥ 0 and in the second diagram to: 𝑥 ≤ 0
