Introduction to Inverse Functions

To find the inverse function, switch the $x$ and $y$ values, and then solve for $y$.

Composition of Functions and Decomposing a Function

Functional composition allows for the application of one function to another; this step can be undone by using functional decomposition.

Restricting Domains to Find Inverses

Domain restriction is important for inverse functions of exponents and logarithms because sometimes we need to find an unique inverse.

Inverses of Composite Functions

A composite function represents, in one function, the results of an entire chain of dependent functions.
