**Topic: Finding and Plotting the Inverse of a Function**

**Objective:** 
Learn how to find the inverse of the function \( f \). Use a graphing utility to plot both the function \( f \) and its inverse \( f^{-1} \) on the same set of axes.

**Given Function:** 
\[ f(x) = \frac{1 - e^{8x}}{1 + e^{8x}} \]

### Steps to Find the Inverse:

1. **Rewrite the function equation by replacing \( f(x) \) with \( y \).**
   \[ y = \frac{1 - e^{8x}}{1 + e^{8x}} \]

2. **Interchange \( x \) and \( y \).**
   \[ x = \frac{1 - e^{8y}}{1 + e^{8y}} \]

3. **Solve for \( y \) to find the inverse function.**

4. **Express the inverse function in terms of \( x \), denoted as \( f^{-1}(x) \).**

### Using a Graphing Utility:

1. **Plot the original function \( f(x) \).**

2. **Plot the inverse function \( f^{-1}(x) \).**

3. **Ensure both graphs are on the same set of axes for comparison.**

### Graph Explanation:

- **Axes:** 
  - The horizontal axis (x-axis) represents the input variable \( x \).
  - The vertical axis (y-axis) represents the output variable \( y \) or \( f(x) \).

- **Graph of \( f(x) \):**
  - Observe how the function behaves. For the given function \( f(x) \), note the key points and asymptotic behavior.

- **Graph of \( f^{-1}(x) \):**
  - The inverse function will mirror the original function across the line \( y = x \).
  - Plot \( f^{-1}(x) \) to observe how it relates to \( f(x) \).

### Learning Outcome:

**Understand the relationship between a function and its inverse by graphically plotting both on the same axes. This exercise helps visualize how the inverse function is a reflection of the original function over the line \( y = x \).**

**Note:** 
Graphical tools like Desmos, GeoGebra, or graphing calculators can be
