👉 In mathematics, a coercive function is a function that is defined for all x in its domain and has an inverse function. This means that if you plug any value into the function, it will always produce a valid result or output. For example, consider the function f(x) = 4x + 3. If we plug in x = 0, we get f(0) = 4(0) + 3 = 3. So this function is coercive because
