Finding the Inverse of a Function with Higher Powers (5.2.2)

Question 1

• To find the inverse of a function algebraically:

1. Swap the x variables with the y variables.
2. Solve the new equation for y. If this new equation cannot be solved for y as a function of x, the original function does not have an inverse.
