two functions, the inverse is a function if and only if there is no element of x is repeated for different element of y.... in graph, when the vertical line test touches the graph at one point only.... when there is no even exponent in y (in equation)
Answers & Comments
Verified answer
y = sqrt(x-3), x ≥ 3 and y ≥ 0
Switch x and y, and square both sides,
x^2 = y - 3
f^-1(x) = y = x^2+3, y ≥ 3 and x ≥ 0
The inverse is a function.
y =âx-3
interchange x and y
x =ây-3
get the square of each side
x^2 = y - 3
express in y form
y = x^2 + 3
therefore f^ -1 (x) = x^2 +
the graph is symmetric to the line y = x

Inverse:
x = sqrt(y) - 3
x + 3 = sqrt(y)
y = (x+3)^2 <- stated as a function
You can graph It on any graphing calc
