Answer:


f^(-1)(x)=(1)/(2)\sqrt{(x)/(2)}

Explanation:

Given:

The function is given as;


f(x)=8x^2

In order to find the inverse, the steps to be followed are:

Step 1: Replace
f(x) by
y.
This gives,


y=8x^2

Step 2: Switch 'y' by 'x' and 'x' by 'y'. This gives,


x=8y^2

Step 3: Solve for 'y'.

Dividing both sides by 8, we get:


(x)/(8)=(8y^2)/(8)


(x)/(8)=y^2 or


y^2=(x)/(8)

Taking square root on both sides, we get:


√(y^2)=\sqrt{(x)/(8)}


y=(1)/(2)\sqrt{(x)/(2)}

Now, we replace 'y' by
f^(-1)(x).

Therefore, the inverse of the given function is:


f^(-1)(x)=(1)/(2)\sqrt{(x)/(2)}
