Question

Find inverse of function y=x2 x>=0

Answer 1

The inverse function is:

f(x)=√x−2

Explanation:

To find the inverse function of y=f(x) you have to transform the formula to calculate x in terms of y.

y=x2+2

x2=y−2

x=√y−2

Now we can change the letters to follow the convention that x is the independent variable and y is the function's value:

y=√x−2

You have to calculate the domain of the result function.

Here you have the expression under square root sign, so the domain is the set where x−2≥0

x−2≥0⇒x≥2
