Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 6: Inverse Function Analysis**
Determine the algebraic representation of \( f^{-1}(x) \) from the tabular representation of \( f(x) \) and justify whether \( f^{-1}(x) \) is odd, even, or neither.
**Table Representation:**
| \( x \) | \( -2 \) | \( -1 \) | \( 0 \) | \( 1 \) | \( 2 \) |
|:------:|:------:|:------:|:----:|:----:|:----:|
| \( f(x) \) | \( -5 \) | \( -2 \) | \( 1 \) | \( 4 \) | \( 7 \) |
**Analysis:**
To find \( f^{-1}(x) \), switch the roles of \( x \) and \( f(x) \). The inverse relations are:
- \( f(-2) = -5 \) implies \( f^{-1}(-5) = -2 \)
- \( f(-1) = -2 \) implies \( f^{-1}(-2) = -1 \)
- \( f(0) = 1 \) implies \( f^{-1}(1) = 0 \)
- \( f(1) = 4 \) implies \( f^{-1}(4) = 1 \)
- \( f(2) = 7 \) implies \( f^{-1}(7) = 2 \)
**Determine Odd, Even or Neither:**
An even function satisfies \( f(-x) = f(x) \) for all \( x \) in the domain, and an odd function satisfies \( f(-x) = -f(x) \).
- Check for evenness: For none of the inputs \( x = a \), does \( f^{-1}(-a) = f^{-1}(a) \).
- Check for oddness: For none of the inputs \( x = a \), does \( f^{-1}(-a) = -f^{-1}(a) \).
Since \( f^{-1}(x) \) does not satisfy the conditions for being either even or odd, it is classified as **neither**.
This exercise helps illustrate the graphical and algebraic symmetry properties of functions and their inverses.
