In our final example, we will first find Then we will graph and in thesame rectangular coordinate system.
Finding the Inverse of a Domain-Restricted Function
Find the inverse of if Graph and in the same rectangularcoordinate system.
Solution The graph of is the graph of the standard quadraticfunction shifted vertically down 1 unit. Figure 1.71 shows the function’s graph. Thisgraph fails the horizontal line test, so the function does not have aninverse function. By restricting the domain to as given, we obtain a new func-tion whose graph is shown in red in Figure 1.71. This red portion of the graph isincreasing on the interval and passes the horizontal line test.This tells us that
has an inverse function if we restrict its domain to We use ourfour-step procedure to find this inverse function. Begin with Step 1 Replace with Step 2 Interchange and Step 3 Solve for
This is the equation from step 2.
Add 1 to both sides.
Apply the square root property.
Step 4 Replace with
Thus, the inverse of is The graphsof and are shown in Figure 1.72. We obtained the graph of by shifting the graph of the square root function, horizontally to the left1 unit. Note that the green graph of is the reflection of the red graph of aboutthe line
