Example 3 – Inverses Used to Solve Equations
Many equations take the form f(x) = 0, where f is a function. If f is a one-to-one function, then the equation has x = f −1(0) as its unique solution.
Solution:
Applying f −1 to both sides gives .
Since , is a solution.

2.4 Inverse Functions
Example 5 – Finding the Inverse of a Function
To find the inverse of a one-to-one function f , solve the equation y = f(x) for x in terms of y obtaining x = g(y). Then f−1(x)=g(x). To illustrate, find f−1(x) if f(x)=(x − 1)2, for x ≥ 1.
Solution:
Let y = (x − 1)2, for x ≥ 1. Then x − 1 = √y and hence x = √y + 1. It follows that f−1(x) = √x + 1.
