Consider the tables that represent a continuous function and its inverse.

Question illustration
A
The reciprocal of the slope of f(x) is the same as the slope of f–1(x).
B
The negative reciprocal of the slope of f(x) is the same as the slope of f–1(x).
C
The y-coordinate of the y-intercept of f(x) is the same as the y-coordinate of the y-intercept of f–1(x).
D
The opposite of the y-coordinate of the y-intercept of f(x) is the same as the x-coordinate of the x-intercept of f–1(x).

Consider this function.f(x) = |x – 4| + 6If the domain is restricted to the portion of the graph with a positive slope, how are the domain and range of the function and its inverse related?

A
Since the domain of the original function is limited to x 6, the range of the inverse function is y ≤ 6.
Option A
B
Since the domain of the original function is limited to x 4, the range of the inverse function is y ≤ 1.
Option B
C
Since the range of the original function is limited to y 6, the domain of the inverse function is x ≥ 6.
Option C
D
Since the range of the original function is limited to y 4, the domain of the inverse function is x ≥ 1.
Option D

Consider the tables that represent ordered pairs corresponding to a function and its inverse.

Question illustration
A
According to the tables, f(x) does not have a y-intercept.
B
According to the tables, f–1(x) does not have an x-intercept.
C
The domain of f(x) is restricted such that x ≥ 0, so the domain of f–1(x) is restricted such that y ≥ 0.
D
The range of f(x) includes values such that y ≥ 1, so the domain of f–1(x) includes values such that x ≥ 1.

Table A represents the function that models the stopping distance in feet of a derby car, d(x), based on the velocity in miles per hour of the car, x.Table B represents the function that models the velocity of a car, v(d), in miles per hour based on distance in feet it took the car to stop, d.

Question illustration
A
Since the functions in both tables are increasing, they are inverses.
B
Since the functions in both tables are increasing, they are not inverses.
C
Since for each ordered pair (x, y) for one function there is an ordered pair (y, x) for the other function, the functions are inverses.
D
Since for each ordered pair (x, y) for one function there is an ordered pair (y, x) for the other function, the functions are not inverses.
