8-12.
A table can be used as a useful tool for finding some inverse functions. When the function has only one x in it, the function can be described with a sequence of operations, each applied to the previous result. Consider the following table for
1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | |
---|---|---|---|---|
What f does to x: | subtracts | multiplies by | adds |
Since the inverse must undo these operations, in the opposite order, the table for
1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | |
---|---|---|---|---|
What | subtracts | divides by | adds |
