Solution

The original graph of a function F(x) F(x) and its inverse graph F1(x) F^{-1}(x) can be related through a geometric transformation. Specifically, to visualize the graph of the inverse function:

  1. Reflection Over the Line: The graph of F1(x) F^{-1}(x) can be obtained by reflecting the graph of F(x) F(x) over the line y=x y = x .

This line acts as the axis of symmetry for the two graphs. Thus, each point (a,b) (a, b) on the graph of F(x) F(x) corresponds to the point (b,a) (b, a) on the graph of F1(x) F^{-1}(x) .

In summary, flipping the original graph of F(x) F(x) over the line y=x y = x provides the graphical representation of its inverse function F1(x) F^{-1}(x) .
