Inverse Function

The function obtained by switching the\n x- and y-variables in a function. The inverse of \n function f is written f^-1.

Note: The new\n relation obtained by reversing the x- and y-values of a function\n is not necessarily\n a function itself. The new relation is only a function if the\n original function is one-to-one.
