Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Answer 2

The inverse is ±sqrt((x-1))/ 4

Explanation:

y = 16x^2 + 1

To find the inverse, exchange x and y

x = 16 y^2 +1

Then solve for y

Subtract 1

x-1 = 16 y^2

Divide by 16

(x-1)/16 = y^2

Take the square root of each side

±sqrt((x-1)/16) = sqrt(y^2)

±sqrt((x-1))/ sqrt(16) = y

±sqrt((x-1))/ 4 = y

The inverse is ±sqrt((x-1))/ 4
