Transformation of Graphs
The word ‘transformation’ means modification. Transformation of the graph of a function is a process by which we modify or change the original graph and make a new graph.
Exponential Functions
The exponential function is a type of mathematical function which is used in real-world contexts. It helps to find out the exponential decay model or exponential growth model, in mathematical models. In this topic, we will understand descriptive rules, concepts, structures, graphs, interpreter series, work formulas, and examples of functions involving exponents.

Transcribed Image Text:## How to Sketch the Inverse of a Function
### Using the Graph of f to Sketch the Graph of f^(-1)
The graph provided at the top shows the function \( f \) plotted on a Cartesian coordinate system. The x-axis ranges from \(-10\) to \(10\) while the y-axis ranges from \(-10\) to \(10\). The function \( f \) appears as a red line with the following segments:
1. A segment extending from approximately \((-10, -10)\) to \((-5, 0)\).
2. Another segment rising from approximately \((-5, 0)\) to \( (0, 5) \).
3. The final segment is from \( (0, 5) \) to approximately \( (10, 10) \).
### Instructions
- **Graph the Inverse**: You are required to graph \( f^{-1} \) using closed endpoints for each segment in the provided graph below.
- **Use Graph Tools**: Several tools are available on the left side of the graph:
- A "pointer" tool.
- A "line" tool.
- A "circle" tool.
- An "arrow" tool.
- A "No Solution" option for marking no solution scenarios.
#### Key Points for Graphing \( f^{-1} \):
1. **Interchange the X and Y Values**: For every point \( (a, b) \) on \( f \), there will be a point \( (b, a) \) on \( f^{-1} \).
2. **Plot New Points**: For example, the point \( (-10, -10) \) on \( f \) will be \( (-10, -10) \) on \( f^{-1} \) as well, but points like \( (10, 10) \) will also retain their position but will validate this reversal principle at other points not on the line y=x beforehand.
### Detailed Diagram Explanation
The provided graph area where you will sketch \( f^{-1} \) similarly ranges from \(-10\) to \(10\) on both x and y axes, and it’s a blank grid for you to create the inverse function. Here, each coordinate point from the original function should be inverted (swapped), and lines drawn connecting these points.
