Answer:

The inverse of f(x)=x2−2x−8 is

XXX¯f(x)=1±√x+9

which is not a function since it generates multiple solution values.

Explanation:

If ¯f(x) is the inverse of f(x)

then f(¯f(x))=x (by definition of inverse)

Therefore

(¯f(x))2−2⋅(¯f(x))−8=x

¯f(x)2−2¯f(x)+1=x+8+1

(¯f(x)−1)2=x+9

¯f(x)−1=±√x+9

¯f(x)=1±√x+9
