Final answer:
To find the inverse of a function, we swap the x and y coordinates of the original function's points. The coordinates representing the inverse function of the given points are a) (-3, 1), c) (3, -5), and d) (-11, 8).
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the inverse of a function, we interchange the x and y coordinates of the given points of the original function. For example, if a point on the original function is (a, b), the corresponding point on the inverse function would be (b, a).
Given the coordinates of the function f(x):
- (1, -3)
- (2, 10)
- (-5, 3)
- (8, -11)
- (-1, 6)
We need to find which of the following coordinates represent the inverse of f(x):
- (-3, 1)
- (-10, 2)
- (3, -5)
- (-11, 8)
By interchanging the x and y values, we can determine:
- The inverse of (1, -3) is (-3, 1)
- The inverse of (2, 10) is (10, 2), which is not listed as an option
- The inverse of (-5, 3) is (3, -5)
- The inverse of (8, -11) is (-11, 8)
- The inverse of (-1, 6) is (6, -1), which is also not listed as an option
Thus, the correct answers are a) (-3, 1), c) (3, -5), and d) (-11, 8).
