Answer:

In the first picture, correct answer is b: the inverse of function q is function r, because they are symmetrical about the line y = x.

In the second picture, correct answer is b: y.

Explanation:

The inverse function of f ( f⁻¹(x) ) must satisfy that: f(f⁻¹(x)) = f⁻¹(f(x)) = x; it returns every point x, transformed under function f, to its original place. In the graph, this property translates in the following statement: the inverse function of a function f is the reflection over the identity function (y = x).

In the graph shown in the question, the blue graph (r), is the one that corresponds to the reflection under the identity function. Therefore, the correct answer is b.

Regarding the second picture, first we need to understand what the range means. The range of a function corresponds to the set of all resulting values of the dependent variable. Since the values taken by the dependent variable span from 0 to 8 (including the 0 but not including the 8), then the answer is b: y.
