Inverse functions


Equations are omitted for technical reasons - download the original pdf

An inverse function only exists for functions that are one-to-one on a closed interval. In this context we need to be precise about the existence of an inverse function, so we prove an existence theorem for inverse functions. An inverse function of f exists if f is strictly increasing on a closed interval. Definition. Let [Equation goes here - download the original to see it.] be a closed interval, and suppose [Equation] for all [Equation] such that [Equation]. Then f is said to be increasing. If [Equation] then f is strictly increasing.
