Question

Find the inverse of the given function. (pictured below)

Answer 1

Answer:

4

3

0

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = y = -1/2 × sqrt(x+3)

2y = -sqrt(x+3)

4y² = x + 3

x = 4y² - 3

now renaming this, so that the normal symbols and names are used for this function definition, so that the input variable is called "x" :

f-1(x) = 4x² - 3

basically, just by itself, this function would be defined for all possible real values of x.

but because it is the inverse of the original function, which generates only values of y<=0, then for the inverse function that same range applies for its input variable x

x<=0
