Consider the tables that represent ordered pairs corresponding to a function and its inverse.

Question illustration
A
According to the tables, f(x) does not have a y-intercept.
B
According to the tables, f–1(x) does not have an x-intercept.
C
The domain of f(x) is restricted such that x ≥ 0, so the domain of f–1(x) is restricted such that y ≥ 0.
D
The range of f(x) includes values such that y ≥ 1, so the domain of f–1(x) includes values such that x ≥ 1.

Option A
B
Since the domain of the original function is limited to x 4, the range of the inverse function is y ≤ 1.
Option B
C
Since the range of the original function is limited to y 6, the domain of the inverse function is x ≥ 6.
Option C
D
Since the range of the original function is limited to y 4, the domain of the inverse function is x ≥ 1.

Table A represents the function that models the stopping distance in feet of a derby car, d(x), based on the velocity in miles per hour of the car, x.Table B represents the function that models the velocity of a car, v(d), in miles per hour based on distance in feet it took the car to stop, d.

Question illustration
A
Since the functions in both tables are increasing, they are inverses.
B
Since the functions in both tables are increasing, they are not inverses.
C
Since for each ordered pair (x, y) for one function there is an ordered pair (y, x) for the other function, the functions are inverses.
D
Since for each ordered pair (x, y) for one function there is an ordered pair (y, x) for the other function, the functions are not inverses.

B
Neither of the lines is parallel to the line y = x; therefore, the functions are not inverses of each other.
C
The point of intersection of the two functions is not on the line y = x; therefore, the functions are inverses of each other.
D
The point of intersection of the two functions is not on the line y = x; therefore, the functions are not inverses of each other.
