All right, we're going to start out with the function f of x equals 2x squared plus 4.
00:07
The domain of this function is everything you can put into it and you'll get an output.
00:11
So this is the polynomial function.
00:12
So it just so happens that the domain is everything or you could just put all real numbers.
00:17
The range could be different.
00:20
Range we're going to actually set this equal to y.
00:23
And we're going to find the inverse function.
00:25
To do that, just switch x and y and then solve again for y.
00:28
So you get x minus 4 over 2 equals y squared.
00:31
And take this plus or minus square root.
00:34
So x minus 4 over 2 equals y.
00:36
This is the f inverse function.
00:39
The domain of this function, so the domain of f inverse, equals the range of the original function.
00:47
Range is much harder to find, so that's why we do this trick...
