Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

But what if the function cannot be inverted? Pupils continue to work with inverses of functions using tables, graphs, and algebraic equations. They restrict the domain of non-invertible functions to make them invertible. Using composition, scholars confirm the two functions are inverses with the restricted domain.
