Question

I need help with a, b and c please 

### Given the function \( f(x) = x^2 - 7 \), \( x \geq 0 \),

#### (a) Find \( f^{-1}(x) \).
\[ f^{-1}(x) = \, \boxed{~} \]

#### (b) Graph \( f \) and \( f^{-1} \) in the same rectangular coordinate system.
Choose the correct graph which shows \( f \) and \( f^{-1} \) graphed in the same coordinate system.
- (Option) A 
- (Option) B 
- (Option) C 
- (Option) D 

(Graphs are showing coordinate planes with various plots. The correct graph will feature a parabola representing \( f(x) \) and its inverse \( f^{-1}(x) \).)

#### (c) State the domain and range of \( f \) and \( f^{-1} \) using interval notation.
- Domain of \( f \) = Range of \( f^{-1} \) = \, \boxed{~}
- Range of \( f \) = Domain of \( f^{-1} \) = \, \boxed{~}

#### Detailed Explanation of Graphs:
- **Option A**: Shows two curves, likely incorrectly plotted since they do not reflect the inverse relationship.
- **Option B**: Displays two curves that seem to mirror each other across the line \( y = x \), suggesting a correct inverse relationship.
- **Option C**: Shows two curves that do not appear to reflect an inverse relationship properly.
- **Option D**: Shows another incorrect plotting of curves that don’t reflect the inverse relationships accurately.

For accurate responses:
1. Confirm the inverse function calculation in (a).
2. Ensure the chosen graph in (b) reflects the correct inverse relationship.
3. Correctly identify the domain and range in (c).
