Preparation
Lesson Narrative
In this lesson, students continue to develop their understanding of inverse functions. They work with linear functions that have multiple operations in a process that is comparable to earlier work of solving for a variable.
Students also interpret the inverse functions in terms of situations using the Information Gap structure. In doing so, they practice reasoning quantitatively and abstractly (MP2).
- Find the inverse of a linear function by solving an equation for the input variable.
- Interpret an inverse function in terms of the quantities in a situation.
