ok, i tried to ask this before but no one seemed to understand what i was asking since the answers had nothing to do with what i was asking so here i go agian:
Lets say i graph the equasion x^2. The graph is a parabola. I want to find the graph of the INVERSE of x^2. This is done by mirroring the parabola over the y=x line.
Now i will find the inverse by using this IMPERFECT method:
flip the graph over the x-axis and rotate it 90 degrees clock-wise using the point of rotation of (0,0).
This method works in finding the inverse graph of the graph of x^2.
HOWEVER, my teacher said this method doesn't work on every graph of any equasion. So, i need to find an equasion, when graphed, does NOT work in finding the inverse of it by the METHOD i displayed earlier.
keep in mind this is pre-calc so no crazy equasions please.
i really hope this makes more sense than my previous question.
