We have the next function


f(x)=\sqrt[]{x-2}

The domain is the set of all possible values that x can have in this case we need to remember that we can have a negative value for the radical therefore the domain is


\: x\ge\: 2

In interval notation


\: \lbrack2,\: \infty\: )

a) [2,inf)

Then for the range is the set of all the possible values that the function can have in this case the range is


\: \: f(x)\ge0

In interval notation


\: \lbrack0,\: \infty\: )

b) [0,inf)

Then we need to find the inverse of the function given, we make f(x)=y


y=\sqrt[]{x-2}

Then we make x=y and y=x


x=\sqrt[]{y-2}

Then we isolate the y


y=x^2+2

The domain of this function is


\: \mleft(-\infty\: ,\: \infty\: \mright)

c) (-inf,inf)

The range of this function is


\: \lbrack2,\: \infty\: )

d) [2,inf)

Then as we calculate before the inverse function of the function given is


f^(-1)(x)=x^2+2

e) f^-1(x)=x^2+2

ANSWER

a) domain of f: [2,inf)

b) range of f: [0,inf)

c) domain of f^-1: (-inf,inf)

d) range of f^-1: [2,inf)

e) f^-1(x)=x^2+2


f^(-1)(x)=x^2+2
