Inverse
An inverse function undoes the operation of the original function.
- that is, the inverse function of a function f (also called the inverse of f) is a function that undoes the operation of f.
ex. imagine we have a function
One can think of as "the function which multiplies its input by 5 then subtracts 7 from the result". To undo this, one adds 7 to the input, then divides the result by 5.
Therefore, the inverse is
Celsius-Fahrenheit
Consider that the inverse of the formula to calculate C to F is the same formula to calculate F to C.
Therefore, f(F)
is the inverse of f(C)
, and f(C)
is the inverse of f(F)
