Answer to Problem 21WE

The inverse of function g(x)=x2 does not exist.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The given function is,

  g(x)=x2 ....(1)=|x|....(also written)

Formula used: The horizontal-line test states that for the graph of a function to have its inverse function, the graph must passes through the horizontal line test. It means if any line drawn horizontal parallel to (x) axis, cuts the graph at most one point then its inverse exists, else not.

Graph: The graph for the function is shown as,

  Algebra and Trigonometry: Structure and Method, Book 2, Chapter 10.3, Problem 21WE

Calculation: Since the given graph of the function does not passes the horizontal line test. Therefore the graph of the function has not the inverse function. Hence the inverse of the function g(x)=x2 does not exist.
