Grade 11 Math Worksheet

NameDate

Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

  1. On a worksheet, f(x) = (x + 5)/3. Pia finds the inverse as one x-term and one number. Type fractions like 1/2. What is f⁻¹(x)?

  2. In a notebook, Ren has f(x) = 6 − 2x. Write f⁻¹(x) as one x-term and one number. What is it?

  3. Tala finds the inverse of f(x) = (2x − 1)/5 in pencil, as one x-term and one number. What is f⁻¹(x)?

  4. On a puzzle card, f(x) = 9 − 3x. Zee needs f⁻¹(x) as one x-term and one number. What is it?

  5. On a worksheet, f(x) = √(x − 2) for x ≥ 2. Ari writes the rule for f⁻¹, which has the domain x ≥ 0. Type powers like x^2. What is f⁻¹(x)?

  6. In a notebook, Bo inverts f(x) = √(x + 5) for x ≥ -5. The inverse has domain x ≥ 0. What is the rule for f⁻¹(x)?

  7. Esme works in pencil with f(x) = √x + 3 for x ≥ 0. Type powers like x^2. What is f⁻¹(x) for x ≥ 3?

  8. On a puzzle card, f(x) = √x − 4 for x ≥ 0. Jun needs the rule for f⁻¹(x), for x ≥ -4. What is it?

  9. On a worksheet, f(x) = x² − 6x + 10 is a parabola. Kira keeps its right half so f has an inverse. Which domain does that?

    • x ≥ 6
    • x ≥ -3
    • x ≥ 0
    • x ≥ 3
  10. In a notebook, Luz restricts f(x) = (x + 2)² − 4 to its right half so f⁻¹ exists. Which domain is that?

    • x ≥ 2
    • x ≥ -2
    • All real numbers
    • x ≥ 0

About this worksheet

Find the inverse of a function, restrict the domain, and check by composition. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can find the inverse of a linear rule by swapping x and y and solving.
  • I can restrict a parabola to one half so that it has an inverse, and find that inverse.
  • I can check whether two functions are inverses by working out f(g(x)).

Standard: F-BF.B.4a, F-BF.B.4b (+), F-BF.B.4d (+)

Words to know

swap x and y: Write y = f(x), then trade the letters to start finding f⁻¹.

restrict the domain: Keep only some inputs, such as one half of a parabola.

turning point: Where a parabola turns around: its lowest or highest point.

check by composition: f(g(x)) = x means g undoes f.

Common mistakes

Your child undid the steps of f in the same order instead of the reverse order. Try: list the steps of f, then undo them from last to first.

Your child wrote 1 over f(x) for the inverse. The small -1 means "undo f", not a reciprocal.

Your child solved for x but did not swap x and y, so the answer is in the wrong letter.

What to say

Ask: does f⁻¹ undo f, or flip it?

Ask: which letter is the input of f⁻¹?

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with find the inverse of a function, restrict the domain, and check by composition?
