The characterization of bijective functions motivates the following definition.

Definition: Invertible Functions, Inverse Functions

A function \(f:A\to B\) is called invertible, if there exists a function \(f^{-1}:B\to A\) such that $f^{-1}(y)=x$ if and only if $f(x)=y.$ If \(f\) is invertible, then \(f^{-1}\) is called the inverse function of \(f\).
