well, it is one that, when reflected across the y=x line, is still a function (use vertical line test)

the first one will not be a function when reflected
2nd won't either
3rd won't
4th will

D is answer

Answer:

The function whose inverse is also a function is:


f(x)=x^5-3

Explanation:

The inverse of a given function f(x) is also a function if the function is one and one.

a)


f(x)=(|x+3|)/(5)

As we know that the modulus function is not one-one.

Hence, the inverse of this function is not a function.

b)


f(x)=x^5-3

We know that a odd-degree polynomial is always one-one.

Hence, the inverse of this function is also a function.

c)


f(x)=(x^4)/(7)+27

The even degree polynomial is not a one-one function.

Hence, it's inverse is not a function.

d)


f(x)=(1)/(x^2)

We know that the graph of this function is not one-one and hence it's inverse is not a function.
