    The one thing I just don't understand is when in your example of x+2 and x-2 (when x =3) that the 5 you get from adding 3 and 2 can just be substituted back into x-2 like this (5-2) to obtain the 3 when this 5 is a y value.

    What about the squared of a negative number? The reverse operation should return back a negative number. So sqrt could should return either a positive or negative value

      just turn f(x) into y, then swap x and y. then solve for y. divide by two and then add one.

      ​@@estherntoshya1259i guess you've already found the reason but if in case you didn't, lemme clarify it for you.
      f(x)=2(x-1)
      Now, let f(x)=y
      y=2(x-1)
      swap the variables for f-¹(x).
      x=2(y-1)
      Divide by 2
      x/2=y-1
      Since you're adding 1 after you have already created a fraction x/2, you've to add it to the whole fraction. Thus,
      (x/2)+1=y
      f-¹(x)=(x/2)+1

      @saramrad7822 9 місяців тому

      firstly you swap the x by y so y=2x+1/4 then x=2y+1/4 after that it's 4x=2y+1 so y=4x-1/2 and this is the inversed function's answer. I Hope that u could understand

      ​@@ProfessorDaveExplains Expanding the bracket first and then do everything else works too( - won't break the rules of bidmas- ), and it directly leads to X+2/2. Which is actually equivalent to the answer displayed in the video. Only that it's a more compact algebraic fraction.

    3:46 - The notation is chaotic. originally y=4x-5, and then it becomes y=(x+5)/4 !? How do you reconcile this obvious contra/error? Mathematicians should've come up with a better way to express inverse functions. Just like the inverse trig function where e.g. the inverse of sin(x) = arcsin(x), this UNAMBIGUOUSLY separate the two reciprocal functions.
    0:40, f^-1 is the original notation for 1/f, e.g. 10^(-1)=1/10=0.1. why then here you subjectively disqualify the rule? This is not correct even it is used as such. This is one of the reasons why some math subjects are 'hard' to understand and misleading.

    • @kermitthefrog6147
      @kermitthefrog6147 2 роки тому

      Why are you angry at the inverse notation looking like an exponent but not at the function notation itself looking like a multiplication?
