Mutually inverse functions. Scope and meaning

Mutually inverse functions
Let ff map each xx in a set XX to y=f(x)y=f(x). If distinct xx go to distinct yy (the function is one-to-one on XX), the inverse function f1f^{-1} sends yy back to the original xx. Then f1(f(x))=xf^{-1}(f(x))=x and f(f1(y))=yf(f^{-1}(y))=y on the corresponding domains. Graphs of y=f(x)y=f(x) and y=f1(x)y=f^{-1}(x) are symmetric about the line y=xy=x.
Without injectivity the “inverse” is multivalued — restrict the domain (as with squaring and square root)
