Given: f(x) = x² + 7
Let y = x² + 7
x = y² + 7 (since the inverse is reflected about the y = x line, the coordinates are interchangeable)
y² = x - 7
y = √(x - 7)
Thus, the inverse function f^(-1)x = √(x - 7)
Let y = x² + 7
x = y² + 7 (since the inverse is reflected about the y = x line, the coordinates are interchangeable)
y² = x - 7
y = √(x - 7)
Thus, the inverse function f^(-1)x = √(x - 7)
So...
f(x)=x^2+7
Consider the output as being y.
y=x^2+7
Thinking of this as a step-by-step procedure (namely , take a number x , square it and then add 7 ) , to reverse this , we have to solve for x the equation y=x^2+7 .
y=x^2+7
x^2=y-7
[tex]x=\pm\sqrt{y-7}[/tex]
[tex]\implies f^{-1}(x)=\pm\sqrt{y-7}[/tex]
I think the answer is correct now...
