Answer:

The function h⁻¹(x) is
$h(x)=\{(-5,3),(-7,5),(-9,6),(-12,10),(-16,12)\}$ .

Explanation:

If a function is defined as

$f(x)=\{(x,y):x\in R,y\in R\}$

Then,

$f^(-1)(x)=\{(y,x):x\in R,y\in R\}$

The given function is

$h(x)=\{(3,-5),(5,-7),(6,-9),(10,-12),(12,-16)\}$

Interchange the x and y coordinates of each point to find the h⁻¹(x).

$h(x)=\{(-5,3),(-7,5),(-9,6),(-12,10),(-16,12)\}$

Therefore the function h⁻¹(x) is
$h(x)=\{(-5,3),(-7,5),(-9,6),(-12,10),(-16,12)\}$ .
