OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

To find \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm f^{-1}(x) }\). \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm y=7x^2-3 }\) steps: ~ put \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm x }\) where \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm y }\) is, and \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm y }\) where \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm x }\) is. (replace them with each other) ~ add \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm 3 }\) to both sides. ~ divide both sides by \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm 7 }\). ~ take the square root both sides.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

( \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm f^{-1}(x) }\) is just a notation for an \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm inverse~function }\). )

so its C

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

it is not... I would prefer that you show your work here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its A i got it right :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk:(

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, A is correct.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

and that function is not a function. Or at least it is not an explicit, rather, it is an implicit function.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

it is a function, like a function... just that it is not a function according to the elementary understanding of this word. (i.e. that no x-value should repeat twice)

ok thanks :)
