Given:

The function is

m(x)=x^2-17x

To find:

The inverse of the given function.

Solution:

We have,

m(x)=x^2-17x

Substitute m(x)=y.

y=x^2-17x

Interchange x and y.

x=y^2-17y

Add square of half of coefficient of y , i.e., \left(\dfrac{-17}{2}\right)^2 on both sides,

x+\left(\dfrac{-17}{2}\right)^2=y^2-17y+\left(\dfrac{-17}{2}\right)^2

x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2=y^2-17y+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2

x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2=\left(y-\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2        [\because (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2]

Taking square root on both sides.

\sqrt{x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2}=y-\dfrac{17}{2}

Add \dfrac{17}{2} on both sides.

\sqrt{x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2}+\dfrac{17}{2}=y

Substitute y=m^{-1}(x).

m^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{x+(\dfrac{189}{4}})+\dfrac{17}{2}

We know that, negative term inside the root is not real number. So,

x+\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2\geq 0

x\geq -\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2

Therefore, the restricted domain is x\geq -\left(\dfrac{17}{2}\right)^2 and the inverse function is m^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{x+(\dfrac{189}{4}})+\dfrac{17}{2}.

Hence, option D is correct.

Note: In all the options square of \dfrac{17}{2} is missing in restricted domain.

You can plug in the numbers
1) (0,3):
3 < 2(0) + 2
3 < 2 this is incorrect, so it is not 1

2) (2,0)
0 < 2(2) + 2
0 < 6 this passed the first one

0 > -(2) - 1
0 > -3 this is also correct

the answer is 2) (2,0)

I think it is 3.5
if 8 is divided by 4, you get two since they are the same shape, 14 should be divided by 4 as well which is 3.5
