CPM Homework Help : INT3 Problem 5-34

The function $f(x)$ is represented in the graph at right. Draw a graph of its inverse function. Be sure to state the domain and range for both $f(x)$ and $f^{–1}(x)$ . What is the relationship between the domain and range of the original function and the domain and range of the inverse?

Hint:

Switch the coordinates of the points on the graph to draw the inverse.

Piecewise graph of line segments connecting in order the following closed points: start at (negative 2, comma negative 3) to (0, comma negative 2), to (2, comma 2), to (5, comma 3).

Use the eTool below to graph the inverse function.
