Detailed Solution & Explanation
Typically, for the sets and , the standard function is defined by .
Under this definition, the function as a set of ordered pairs is:
To find the inverse function , we reverse the components of each ordered pair in :
This corresponds to **Option A**.
**Discrepancy & Typographical Error:**
Mathematically, the inverse relation must be a set of ordered pairs from to , which is represented by **Option A**. The textbook answer key has a typographical error, listing **Option C** (which is a different relation from to , not an inverse) as the correct answer. The mathematically correct inverse is indeed Option A.
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer (according to the textbook key), but the mathematically proven correct value is (**Option A**).
