Domains of Power Functions If p is a non-zero integer, then the domain of the power function f(x) = kx p consists of all real numbers. For rational exponents p, x p is always defined for positive x, but we cannot extract an even root of a negative number. Thus x (1/4) is not defined for any negative real numbers. The Inverse of a Function. The inverse of a function is the function which reverses the effect of the original function. For example the inverse of y = 2x is y = ½ x . To find the inverse of a function, swap the x"s and y"s and make y the subject of the formula. Example. Find the inverse of f(x) = 2x + 1 Let y = f(x), therefore y = 2x + 1
