Solve for <em>x</em> when √(<em>x</em> ² - 4) = 1 :
√(<em>x</em> ² - 4) = 1
<em>x</em> ² - 4 = 1
<em>x</em> ² = 5
<em>x</em> = ±√5
We're looking at <em>x </em>≤ 0, so we take the negative square root, <em>x</em> = -√5.
This means <em>f</em> (-√5) = 1, or in terms of the inverse of <em>f</em>, we have <em>f</em> ⁻¹(1) = -√5.
Now apply the inverse function theorem:
If <em>f(a)</em> = <em>b</em>, then (<em>f</em> ⁻¹)'(<em>b</em>) = 1 / <em>f '(a)</em>.
We have
<em>f(x)</em> = √(<em>x</em> ² - 4) → <em>f '(x)</em> = <em>x</em> / √(<em>x</em> ² - 4)
So if <em>a</em> = -√5 and <em>b</em> = 1, we get
(<em>f</em> ⁻¹)'(1) = 1 / <em>f '</em> (-√5)
(<em>f</em> ⁻¹)'(1) = √((-√5)² - 4) / (-√5) = -1/√5
The sign must be negative; see the attached plot, and take note of the negatively-sloped tangent line to the inverse of <em>f</em> at <em>x</em> = 1.

Answer:
Carmen's score is 75 strokes.
Linda's score is 81 strokes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the score of Linda be "x".
<em>It is given that Carmen's golf score is 6 strokes less than Linda's.</em>
Thus, Carmen's score is (x-6).
The total score of the girls is
= 
The total score is given to be 156.
Thus, the equation becomes,
<em>Thus Linda's score is 81 and Carmen's score is (156-81) 75.</em>

Answer:
x^2 -4x +2 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The other root is the conjugate of the given one, so is 2-√2. The quadratic equation in factored form is then ...
(x -2-√2)(x -2+√2) = 0
Expanding this, we get ...
(x -2)^2 -(√2)^2 = 0
x^2 -4x +4 -2 = 0
x^2 -4x +2 = 0 . . . . the equation you're looking for
