Is the inverse of a function also a function? Pupils manipulate the graph of a function to view its inverse to answer this question. Using a horizontal and vertical line, class members determine whether the initial function is one-to-one, while at the same time checking to see if the inverse is a function. They use that information to determine whether given functions are one-to-one.
