Inverse transformations are really helpful when we look at functions. They help us understand how to go back to the start. Let’s break down what they do:

1. Going Back: Inverse transformations allow us to return to the original function. For example, if we have a function called $f(x)$ and it goes through a change called $g(x)$, the inverse $g^{-1}(x)$ will help us find our way back to $f(x)$.

2. Analyzing Graphs: When we draw graphs, sometimes we reflect or shift them. Knowing the inverse helps us change the graph back to how it was originally.

3. Solving Problems: Inverse transformations also help us solve equations. If we have $y = f(x)$, we can find $x$ by using the inverse function, which looks like $x = f^{-1}(y)$.

In short, inverse transformations help us better understand how functions work!
