For this case we must find the inverse of the following function:


f (x) = x ^ 2-1

For them we follow the steps:

We change f (x) to y:


y = x ^ 2-1

We exchange variables:


x = y ^ 2-1

We solve for "y":


y ^ 2-1 = x

We add 1 to both sides of the equation:


y ^ 2 = x + 1

We apply square root to eliminate the exponent:


y = \pm \sqrt {x + 1}

We change y by
f ^ {- 1} (x):


f ^ {- 1} (x) =\pm \sqrt {x + 1}

Answer:

Option D
