in plain and short, "the range of the original is the domain of the inverse and the domain of the original is the range of the inverse".
or just to put it plainly, the inverse is the same set, but backward pairs
[tex]\bf %f(x) = {(8, 3), (4, 1), (0, –1), (–4, –3)}
f(x) = \{(8, 3), (4, 1), (0, -1), (-4, -3)\}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{inv erse}{\{(3, 8), (1, 4), (-1, 0), (-3, -4)\}}[/tex]
