Try an example to see if this is true.
f(x) = 3x - 1
So, f(x) has y-intercept = -1
To find inverse of f(x),
y = 3x - 1
x = 1/3 y + 1/3
y = 1/3 x + 1/3
f^-1 = 1/3 x + 1/3
To find x-intercept,
y = 1/3 x + 1/3
0 = 1/3 x + 1/3
-1/3 = 1/3 x
x = -1
So, f^-1 has an x-intercept = -1.
So, True or False?
True or False?
If the inverse function of f exists, and the graph of f has a y-intercept, the y-intercept of f is an x-intercept of f^-1
