Identifying and sketching related functionsInverse of a logarithmic or exponential function

The rules from graph translations are used to sketch the derived, inverse or other related functions. Complete the square to find turning points and find expression for composite functions.

Sketching the inverse of a logarithmic or an exponential function

Graph of f(x) and its inverse

Graph of \(f(x)\) and its inverse:

\(f(x) = {e^x}\)

\({f^{ - 1}}(x) = {\log _e}x\)

Graph of f(x) and its inverse

Graph of \(f(x)\) and its inverse:

\(f(x) = \frac{1}{2}x + 4\)

\({f^{ - 1}}(x) = 2x - 8\)

Two examples of inverse functions and their graphs
