Q. 6. Apply the horizontal or vertical line test to determine if the inverse of the function is a function.Is the inverse of the function a function?NoYes
Understand horizontal line test: Step 1: Understand the horizontal line test.To determine if a function has an inverse that is also a function, we use the horizontal line test. If any horizontal line crosses the graph of the function more than once, the inverse is not a function.
Apply horizontal line test: Step 2: Apply the horizontal line test.Assume the function's graph is given or visualized. If a horizontal line intersects the graph at multiple points, the inverse will not pass the vertical line test, meaning it's not a function.
Conclusion: Step 3: Conclusion based on the test.Since the horizontal line test fails (as assumed for this problem), the inverse of the function is not a function.
