Invertible functions are functions whose inverse can be calculated.
The values of the expressions are: [tex]f^{-1}(f(5)) = 5[/tex] and [tex]f(f(5)) = 11[/tex]
The table entry is given as:
x | 5 | 3 | 1 | 18 | 0 | 9
f(x) | 9 | -2 | -5 | -1 | 1 | 11
(a) Calculate f^-1(f(5))
Start by calculating f(5).
From the table, we have:
[tex]f(5) = 9[/tex]
Take inverse function of both sides
[tex]f^{-1}(f(5)) = f^{-1}(9)[/tex]
From the table, the inverse value of 9 is 5.
i.e. [tex]f^{-1}(9) = 5[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]f^{-1}(f(5)) = 5[/tex]
(b) Calculate f(f(5))
In (a) above, as have:
[tex]f(5) = 9[/tex]
So, the function becomes
[tex]f(f(5)) = f(9)[/tex]
From the table, the value of f(9) is 11.
So, we have:
[tex]f(f(5)) = 11[/tex]
