Inverse transformations are about reversing what the original transformation did. It's pretty interesting, right? Here are some important points to remember:
Reversibility: The big idea is that an inverse transformation brings you back to where you started. For example, if you move a point to the right by 3 units, the inverse will move it back to the left by 3 units.
Mathematical Notation: We often write transformations using a function, like ( f(x) ). Its inverse is written as ( f^{-1}(x) ). So, if ( f ) changes ( x ) into ( y ), then ( f^{-1} ) changes ( y ) back into ( x ).
Composition: If you do a transformation and then apply its inverse, you end up back where you started. In math terms, this is written as ( f(f^{-1}(x)) = x ).
Graphical Representation: On a graph, when a transformation moves points, the inverse will show those points in a way that shows their original locations.
Understanding these ideas helps you see how transformations and their inverses work together!
