    Finding and verifying the inverse of a nonlinear function

    Students will learn how to find and verify inverse functions. This builds on the student's ability to solve literal equations.

    Conclude by giving your students these challenges:

    • Shape Mapping by NRICH
    • Squ-areas by NRICH
    • Scratch Cards by NRICH
    • Trapezoidal Perimeter

    Find the area of the green rectangle:

    Here's the solution.
