Question

The function h(x) is given below.

h(x) = {(3, –5), (5, –7), (6, –9), (10, –12), (12, –16)}

Which of the following gives h–1(x)?
{(3, 5), (5, 7), (6, 9), (10, 12), (12, 16)}
{(–5, 3), (–7, 5), (–9, 6), (–12, 10), (–16, 12)}
{(3, –5), (5, –7), (6, –9), (10, –12), (12, –16)}
{(5, 3), (7, 5), (9, 6), (12, 10), (16, 12)}

Answer 1

h–1(x) swaps each ordered pair: (x,y) → (y,x). So

h–1(x) = {(-5, 3), (-7, 5), (-9, 6), (-12, 10), (-16, 12)}.
