Only some of the toolkit functions have an inverse. See
[link] .
For a function to have an inverse, it must be one-to-one (pass the horizontal line test).
A function that is not one-to-one over its entire domain may be one-to-one on part of its domain.
For a tabular function, exchange the input and output rows to obtain the inverse. See
[link] .
The inverse of a function can be determined at specific points on its graph. See
[link] .
To find the inverse of a formula, solve the equation
for
as a function of
Then exchange the labels

Describe why the horizontal line test is an effective way to determine whether a function is one-to-one?
Each output of a function must have exactly one output for the function to be one-to-one. If any horizontal line crosses the graph of a function more than once, that means that
-values repeat and the function is not one-to-one. If no horizontal line crosses the graph of the function more than once, then no
-values repeat and the function is one-to-one.
For the following exercises, find a domain on which each function
is one-to-one and non-decreasing. Write the domain in interval notation. Then find the inverse of
restricted to that domain.
In biology, a pathogen (Greek: πάθος pathos "suffering", "passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") in the oldest and broadest sense, is anything that can produce disease. A pathogen may also be referred to as an infectious agent, or simply a germ.
The term pathogen came into use in the 1880s.[1][2
Biology is the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized field that cover their morphology, physiology,anatomy, behaviour,origin and distribution.
