ANSWER


{f}^( - 1) =\pm √(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation

The given function is


f(x) = {x}^(2) - 1

Let


y = {x}^(2) - 1

Interchange x and y to get:


x= {y}^(2) - 1

Solve for y,


x + 1 = {y}^(2)

Take square root of both sides to get,


\pm √(x + 1) = y

This is the same as:


y = \pm √(x + 1)

Therefore the inverse is


{f}^( - 1) =\pm √(x + 1)
