Is the inverse of f(x)=4(-13x+9)^2=3 F(-1)= -(x+321) over 676

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you sure you wrote the problem correctly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops I mean +3 instead of = 3 sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you want to find the inverse of \(f(x)=4+(-13x+9)^2+3\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean \(f(x)=4(−13x+9)^2+3\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If so, then you need to know that this is NOT a one-to-one function. Thus it doesn't have an inverse, except for some strict domains (at which the function is one to one).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it because it's squared?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, parabolas are not one-to-one functions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so parabolas will never be one- to -one functions, so the answer is no solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As I said, in general the given function doesn't have an inverse. However, you can work on "some restricted domain" of the function that's one-to-one.

k thank you
