Finding the inverse function for f(x)=1/x^2

1 Answer

to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables and then solve for "y".


\stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\cfrac{1}{x^2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{x=\cfrac{1}{y^2}}\implies y^2=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies y=\sqrt{\cfrac{1}{x}}\implies \stackrel{f^(-1)(x)}{y}=\cfrac{1}{√(x)}
