Tâche 1
Putting It All Together
Answer these open ended questions on your own or with others to form deeper math connections.
Tâche 2

Tâche 3
Explain the relationship that the graph of the function and the inverse have with the line .
Tâche 4
The graph of a linear function passes through and . The graph of another linear function passes through and . Do you have enough information to say that and are inverses of each other?
Tâche 5
Could you determine if two functions are inverses if you were given only the first point for each function?
Tâche 6
Does have an inverse function? What about if the domain was restricted?
