The domain of a function is the domain of its inverse. a. true b. false
Well based on this you'll have an answer: Example F(x) = x^2. Domain and range all real numbers. Let's take the inverse of this function. We end up getting this; F^-1(x) = x^1/2 The range and domain for the function are not the same as the inverse function. If you realize for the inverse x can only be a positive number, and so too can y. You can't take the square root of a negative number. So the domain for this function can only be x values that are greater or equal to zero.
so it is false
Yep
You can actually take any function and test it by figuring out the domain, x values in which the function is defined and doing the same for the inverse function.
