Piecewise functions have different definitions, depending on when you evaluate them.
Given an input x, your function returns:
- 2x if the input is negative
- 1 if the input lies between 0 (included) and 2 (excluded)
- the square root of x if the input is greater than 2 (included)
You want to know what f(0) is. In other words, you want to know what happens if we give 0 as input.
The piecewise definition tells us that, if the input is 0, the function outputs 1.
So, you have f(0) = 1.

The square of a binomial is written like
In your case, you have 
, which implies 
So, we want to write
But our left hand side is
If we add 26 to both sides, we have
f^-1(x) = sq.rt 5(x - 10)/5, sq.rt 5(x - 10)/5 is the inverse of y = 5x^2 +10
Step-by-step explanation:
interchanging the variables
x = 5y^2 + 10
5y^2 +10 = x
5y^2 = x - 10
dividing by 5
5y^2/5 = x/5 + -10/5
y^2 = x/5 + - 10/5
y^2 = x/5 - 2
y = 5 (x-10) 0/5 (sq.rt)
g(5x^2 + 10) = 5x/5
g(5x^2 + 10) = x
f^-1(x) = sq.rt 5(x - 10)/5, sq.rt 5(x - 10)/5 is the inverse of y = 5x^2 +10
The y intercept is (0, 1)
