came up with the answer. (Answers may vary)
Establishing the purpose:
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to
apply the concepts of inverse functions to formulate
and solve real-life problems with precision and
accuracy.

Discussion on New Concepts:
Teacher will discuss some important rules of
inference that will serve as the students’ guide in
finding the domain and range of an inverse function.
The illustration above states that domain of a normal
function will be equivalent to the range of an inverse
function and the range of a normal function will
become also its domain of an inverse function.
Developing mastery (leading to formative
assessment)
Let the students answer the practice
exercises flashed on the screen.

graph. The range is
{𝑓(𝑥) ∈ ℝ |−3 ≤ f(x) ≤ 4}.
Verify using techniques in an
earlier lesson that the inverse
𝑥−1
function is given by f-1(x) = 2 .
The domain and range of the
inverse function can be
determined by inspection of the
graph:
Domain of f-1(x) =
{𝑥 ∈ ℝ |−3 ≤ x ≤ 4}.
Range of f-1(x) =
{𝑦 ∈ ℝ |−2 ≤ y ≤ 1.5}.

number, multiply the result by 3 and divide
the result by 2. If the result is 54, what is the
original number? Construct an inverse
function that will provide the original number
if the result is given. (let the student identify
the domain and range on the inverse
function)
2. Engineers have determined that the
maximum force t in tons that a particular
bridge can carry is related to the distance d in
meters between it supports by the following
function: t(d) = (12.5/d)3. How far should the
supports be if the bridge is to support 6.5
tons? Construct an inverse function to
determine the result.
Generalization/Abstraction of the Lesson
Let the students enumerate steps in solving inverse
of a function and identify its domain and range.
(expect that the students may vary on their answers)
Evaluating Learning
Find the inverse function of f(x). State the domain and
range of the inverse function f 1(x): (See Attached file for the
solutions)
1. f(x) = 2x + 4
2. f(x) = 2(x + 4)
3. f(x) = 3(x 7) + 5
