# Math Help - Suppose f is a one-to-one function whose domain is given by the inequality -4 ≤ x ≤ 5

1. ## Suppose f is a one-to-one function whose domain is given by the inequality -4 ≤ x ≤ 5

Suppose f is a one-to-one function whose domain is given by the inequality -4 ≤ x ≤ 5.
The range of f is given by the inequality 0 ≤ f(x) ≤ 9.
What is the domain of f-1?

-9 ≤ f-1(x) ≤ 0 or -4 ≤ f-1(x) ≤ 5

the domain and range of a function and it's inverse are "swapped".

3. so, does that mean the answer is -4 ≤ x ≤ 5????

No.

The domain of $f^{-1}$ equals the range of $f$

-4 ≤ f-1(x) ≤ 5 Its this then?

7. 0 ≤ x ≤ 9 maybe its this? haha this is like the hardest math problem on this forum ><

domain are x-values ...

since the range of $f(x)$ is $0 \le f(x) \le 9$ , the domain of $f^{-1}(x)$ is $0 \le x \le 9$

oooooo, why didn't you say so in the first place. now I get it.

+thanked.

... that's what I said "in the first place".

but your post was in the second place

not that funny now that i read it
