d. ANALYTICAL What pattern can you discern regarding the inverses of odd functions? Confirm or deny the
pattern algebraically.
ANSWER:
a. No; sample answer:
b. Sample answer: The pattern indicates that no even functions have inverses. When a function is even, f (x) = f
(−x). Two x-values share a common y-value. This violates the horizontal line test. Therefore, the statement is true,
and no even functions have inverse functions.
c. Yes; sample answer:
d. Sample answer: The pattern indicates that all odd functions have inverses. While the pattern of the three graphs
presented indicates that some odd functions have inverses, this is in fact a false statement. If a function is odd, then
f(−x) = −f (x) for all x. An example of an odd function is . Notice from the graph of this
function that, while it is odd, it fails the horizontal line test and, therefore, does not have an inverse function.

84. Writing in Math Explain what type of restriction on the domain is needed to determine the inverse of a quadratic
function and why a restriction is needed. Provide an example.
ANSWER:
Sample answer: The domain of a quadratic function needs to be restricted so that only half of the parabola is
shown. The cut-off point of the restriction will be along the axis of symmetry of the parabola. This essentially cuts
2
the parabola into two equal halves. The restriction will be or for f (x) = ax + bx + c.
87. REASONING Can f (x) pass the horizontal line test when f (x) = 0 and f (x) = 0? Explain.
ANSWER:
Yes; sample answer: One function that does this is f (x) = . Even though both limits approach 0, they do it from
opposite sides of 0 and no x-values ever share a corresponding y-value. Therefore, the function passes the
horizontal line test.
88. REASONING Why is ± not used when finding the inverse function of f (x) = ?
ANSWER:
Sample answer: If the ± sign is used, then f (x) will no longer be a function because it violates the vertical line test.
