f(x) = (8-2x)2=y
let 's find the inverse is
(8-2x)2=y, (8-2x)=sqrt(y), and -2x=sqrt(y) -8, finally x= (-1/2)sqrt(y)+4
the inverse is f^-1(y)=(-1/2)
√y + 4, when x=y

the inverse is f^-1(x)=(-1/2) √x + 4

A: f-1(x) = ;f-1 is a function

Answer:


y=(8\pm√(x))/(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given with a function
f(x)=(8-2x)^2

We need to find
f^(-1)

when we find inverse of any function we intechange the variables we will get


x=(8-2y)^2 after simplification we will get


y=(8\pm√(x))/(2)


f^(-1) is not a function since, for each value of x there is two values of y.
