Find the inverse of the given one-to-one function $f$ Give the domain and the range of fand of $f^{-1}$, and then graph both $\mathrm{fand} \mathrm{f}^{-1}$ on the same set of axes.
Find $f\left(f^{-1}(5)\right)$ and $f^{-1}(f(a))$ $f(x)=x^{3}-4$

Key Concepts

Graphical Interpretation of Functions and Their Inverses

Graphing a function and its inverse on the same axes typically reveals a symmetry where the graph of the inverse function is the reflection of the graph of the original function across the line y = x. This visual relationship aids in understanding how the two functions relate.

Composition of Functions and Identity Property

The composition of a function with its inverse always results in the identity function on the appropriate set, meaning that f(f?¹(x)) = x and f?¹(f(x)) = x for all x in the appropriate domains. This property is essential for verifying that two functions are inverses of each other.

One-to-One Functions

A one-to-one function is a function in which every output is produced by exactly one input. This key concept ensures that the inverse function exists because no two different inputs map to the same output.

Inverse Functions

The inverse function of a one-to-one function reverses the roles of the inputs and outputs. It 'undoes' the action of the original function, meaning that applying the function and then its inverse (or vice versa) returns the original input.

Domain and Range

The domain and range are fundamental concepts that describe all possible inputs and outputs of a function, respectively. When finding an inverse function, the original function’s domain and range are swapped: the domain of the inverse is the range of the original function, and the range of the inverse is the domain of the original.
