its just amazing how this video is uploaded way back in 2010 but is still very useful today and will be for the years to come. Thank you Khan Academy!!
5:15 Additional notes from me: a variable is a "bucket" that can be any number based on its constraints and can be changed to any symbol, letter, or maybe shapes (it's basically anything distinct to be used to represent the "bucket") without changing the value of the expression. Up until x = f inverse of y = (1/2)y - 2, y is useful to see where it's coming from: it's coming from the original equation y = f(x) = 2x + 4, we just solve for x in terms of y to map from the range back to the domain or to make the output as the input and vice versa (that is why it is called inverse function). After we know where it's coming from, it's useful that at this point and onward, we change the symbol/variable from y to x to see the relationship between f inverse of y to f(x) or f of x. We can do that because we just change the symbol or the variable without changing the value. We could've change the y into a or b or anything, but we chose to change the y into x because we need to see the relationship between the f inverse of y and the f(x) or f of x. • x = f inverse of y = (1/2)y - 2 --------> change the letter y to X to see the correlation between this equation to f(x) (it's not going to change the value, it's the same as if you were to use star shapes to represent a variable and decide to change them to heart shapes) • x = f inverse of X = (1/2)X -2 We now see the correlation between f inverse of X and f(x) or f of x. In fact, f inverse of X is derived from f(x). Notice that it might be a little confusing since now, in the x or f inverse of X equation, the domain (input) and range (output) are represented by the same variable, they are just differentiated by means of capital letter and lowercase letter: x = f inverse of X (let us use capital X as the input and the lowercase x as the output to differentiate them) = (1/2)X - 2. • The x (range or output) = f inverse of X (domain or input) is similar to the y (range or output) in y (range or output) = f(x) or f of x (domain or input). • The X (domain or input) in x (range or output) = f inverse of X (domain or input) is similar to the x (domain or input) in y (range or output) = f(x) or f of x (domain or input).
Teachers in our school just complicate it as much as possible to mash our brains...but you Khan Academy are something that brought help to me and many other people...I am making progress in math only because of you and not because of my teachers...they are very bad,thank you,keep going.
When you realize that all of years spent in elementary and high school are useless it's such a shame. Teachers only teached us how to calculate something and telling us to remeber all that formulas. They never teached us concepts and we have never had motivation to learn.
@@benjaming4659 Dear Benjamin, they are very competent, but the way they teach us is not the right way. But it's just the way it is. You will learn the process of solving examples but the idea, history, goals, real world applications you just need to learn by youself. If they know all that yet why they don't tell us?
Don’t know about your teacher but my techers tech almost in the same way as Khan Academy, I just need more time to understand. So, I can watch this video whole day (whereas I can't ask my techer to explain me the whole day...) Teachers really do there best. :) Thanks Khan Academy. 🙂
Lol, your comment is four years old. Just simply take online class, and when you're in a bind, look for a TH-cam video. I just like to learn the basics first by finding the solutions to get from Point A to Point B of the problem. That is all I really need to know. Why do teachers need to spend 30 minute to an hour on a specific type of problem? I feel like the problem is you gotta try and explain it in different ways to 30 students in one class when you could just watch this by yourself and have no problem solving it and actually seeing it visually.
Dude, like literally YOU'RE THE BEST. Your videos are so intuitive. I love it, I have been after teachers to tell me what's inverse they would tell me it's opposite of what it does, I knew what they wanna say but i felt unsatisfied like it didn't make sense although I knew how to do it. But that part where you just told that question is there any way to get back to the x. After that why you solved for x made perfect sense....
This video was super helpful. Your ability to explain things makes it unbelievably easy to comprehend and conceptualize these otherwise confusing concepts. It's bizarre that I could spend about an hour in a class with an instructor going over this material and still left not knowing much more than I did at the beginning of that hour, yet I watch this video that's less than 10 minutes, and I totally get it now. However, what I can't wrap my brain around is how 69 individuals found this video unhelpful and gave it a thumbs down.
I'm working on a chapter in calculus for about 30-60min + listening to my professors lectures, before I start understanding it well. Then I watch a 9 min video from you and I understand it perfectly... Thanks alot!
Woaw man!! Just woaw!! I'm studying Biomedicine at my university, and my professors have tried to teach this to us for a while now, nobody gets it. Then i watched your movie and you explained it sooooo easily in just 9 minutes. THANK YOU!
one perhaps dumb question but I'd like to ask if the inverse of a function really is changing the dependent variable to the independent I mean if you have say y = 2x + 1 x = 1/2y - 1/2 if you graph the f(x) you get the same as if you graph the f(y), it is only when you change the y to x and x to y in the second function (the inverse) that you get the correct graph. Does it only become the inverse function when the switching of the y and x is done? I mean if you solve for x with respect to y you will still obviously get the same graph. Thanks!
i had a moment when i had to pause the video just to be like "ohhhhhhhhh" cuz I finally understood. learning over zoom has been terrible but this was so helpful
This part confused me a bit : F-1(y) =(1/2 )y -2 but replacing it with 'x' made me think of substituting y with (2x+4). So F-1 (x)= x It's a good job he said you could replace it with any other input variable name like 'a' or 'b' otherwise I'd be lost.
Though I slightly understand your point in representing it in graph Sal, It made it more confusing.. (for me) why would you bother to represent it when you already had the f^-1=1/2y-2? Anyway, thank you very much I'll just delve in to the topic of inverse functions to see why did you represent that.
I wish you'd actually write out the subtracting and dividing on both sides of the equation instead of just jumping to the answer. It makes it hard to follow along.
Don’t know about your teacher but my techers tech almost in the same way as Khan Academy, I just need more time to understand. So, I can watch this video whole day (whereas I can't ask my techer to explain me the whole day...) Teachers really do there best. :) Thanks Khan Academy. 🙂
Bastiaan . Yes. A quadratic, like f(x)=x^2, will not always tell us exactly where to go back. Ex: f(-1)=1 and f(1)=1. If we go to 1 and ask what value we go back to, we can't say for sure. It's either 1 or -1. Inverse functions always tell us what value to go back to.
i dont think hes doing that right I'm not gonna lie. y=2x+4 the way that I was taught, and the way that online calculators as well as textbook answers give is different you switch x and y, changing the equation to x=2y+4 then reverse the equation to the other side of the equation with opposite signs x-4=2y then same to take the 2 from the right side x-4/2=y I might be wrong, but this seems off
im pretty sure both methods work, your method is first switching x and y and then solving for y and the method in the video is first solving for x and then switching x and y. both methods are correct and lead to an inverse function of x but just in a different order
Bro I hate my math teacher 😐 she is giving us a final on everything we did in 6 months for online school while another teacher left their class a ch test as a final 😐 now I’m stuck here watching all this dudes vids for the past 5 days reviewing 😭

Jussst when I thought I had almost all of the basic algebra down. I'm halfway through differential calculus and realized I needed to re learn this :)
loving the new writing Sal. Much neater!
I see you've updated your sketch pad. Never thought these videos could get any better than they already were. Thanks, Sal, your a lifesaver.
@chizzy555 Maybe some trades. I could imagine the inverse trig functions would be pretty useful if you're building something.
i would never have made it through half of last year without these videos. thanks so much man.

OMG this explain everything! Thanks a lot!
Makes perfect sense. Before, I didn't know what solving for the equation did. Now, thanks to Sal, I do!

thank u so much for clearing my concept..

Good job, I completely understood but unfortunately not what I’m looking for.
Thank you so so much! Deeply love your channel!
SO MUCH HELPFUL, THANK YOUU!!
Best explanation ever thank you so much
one perhaps dumb question but I'd like to ask if the inverse of a function really is changing the dependent variable to the independent
I mean if you have say
y = 2x + 1
x = 1/2y - 1/2
if you graph the f(x) you get the same as if you graph the f(y), it is only when you change the y to x and x to y in the second function (the inverse) that you get the correct graph.
Does it only become the inverse function when the switching of the y and x is done? I mean if you solve for x with respect to y you will still obviously get the same graph.
Thanks!
ya; another way of solving to find inverse functions is to switch x and y in the start and solve from there
i love this guy's video, explained much better than my school teacher
And i would like to say i love khan academy
amazing explanation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crazy how this video was made before I turned 5 and now I'm watching it as a freshman in college
Thank you Khan Academy that you exist!

Very helpful
In 5:58 you say that you can go back to the domain from the range "If possible". Is there an instance in which it is not possible?
Bastiaan . Yes. A quadratic, like f(x)=x^2, will not always tell us exactly where to go back. Ex: f(-1)=1 and f(1)=1. If we go to 1 and ask what value we go back to, we can't say for sure. It's either 1 or -1. Inverse functions always tell us what value to go back to.
6:19 i dont understand why 2x + 4 is plotted on the negative side of x not the positive.
I wish to know how the graph got plotted in that way 😢
that just blew my mind
I learned this in my algebra 2 class if that helps.
There are huge problems with the public school system as well as universities.

Here in 2023 😅 this 9m video has been more useful than an hour of my teacher explaining
what software are they using? :3
how is y/2 the same as 1/2y?
Y/2 means "half of Y" 1/2 means "one half Y". Essentially the same thing.
i dont think hes doing that right I'm not gonna lie.
y=2x+4
the way that I was taught, and the way that online calculators as well as textbook answers give is different
you switch x and y, changing the equation to x=2y+4
then reverse the equation to the other side of the equation with opposite signs
x-4=2y
then same to take the 2 from the right side
x-4/2=y
I might be wrong, but this seems off
you literally got the same answer he got tho? What are you trying to say?
im pretty sure both methods work, your method is first switching x and y and then solving for y and the method in the video is first solving for x and then switching x and y. both methods are correct and lead to an inverse function of x but just in a different order
