Finding Inverse Functions Step By Step

This animation explains inverse functions using a worked example such as f(x) = 2x + 3. It shows how swapping x and y, then rearranging to solve for y, produces the inverse function f⁻¹(x). The visual also demonstrates how a function and its inverse are reflections of each other across the line y = x, reinforcing both the algebraic method and the graphical relationship. Designed for GCSE, IGCSE, O Level, and Edexcel Maths students building fluency with function notation and inverses.
