Question

Which of the following is not a self-inverse function?

  • ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘ฅ
  • ๐‘ฆ = 1๐‘ฅ
  • ๐‘ฆ = โˆ’๐‘ฅ
  • ๐‘ฆ = ๐‘ฅ

Solution

The function that is not self-inverse among the given options is ๐‘ฆ=1/๐‘ฅ.

A self-inverse function is a function which is its own inverse. This means that if the function is applied twice, the original input is retrieved.

For ๐‘ฆ=๐‘ฅ and ๐‘ฆ=โˆ’๐‘ฅ, if you apply the function twice, you get back the original input. For example, if ๐‘ฅ=2, then ๐‘ฆ=2 for ๐‘ฆ=๐‘ฅ and if you apply the function again, you get ๐‘ฅ=2. Similarly for ๐‘ฆ=โˆ’๐‘ฅ, if ๐‘ฅ=2, then ๐‘ฆ=โˆ’2 and if you apply the function again, you get ๐‘ฅ=2.

However, for ๐‘ฆ=1/๐‘ฅ, if you apply the function twice, you do not get back the original input. For example, if ๐‘ฅ=2, then
