Monotone Functions, Inverse Functions, Logarithm, General Power Part 4 - Continuity of the Inverse Function


Listen Later

In this episode we demonstrate that the inverse of continuous functions (i.e., the inverse mapping - not to confuse with the point wise reciprocal) is, too, continuous. For this we show that once a continuous functions maps an interval one-to-one into the reals it is necessarily also strictly monotone (either increasing or decreasing). This observation eventually helps us with the proof of our desired result.
