Review : Inverse Functions In the last example from the previous section we looked at the two functions and and saw that and as noted in that section this means that there is a nice relationship between these two functions. Let?s see just what that relationship is. Consider the following evaluations. In the first case we plugged into and got a value of -5. We then turned around and plugged into and got a value of -1, the number that we started off with. In the second case we did something similar. Here we plugged into and got a value of , we turned around and plugged this into and got a value of 2, which is again the number that we started with. Note that we really are doing some function composition here. The first case is really, and the second case is really,
