All right, so for a, we want to start off by finding the inverse function.
00:06
How we do that is by swapping the x and the y, and then solving for y again.
00:15
So if we're going to multiply both sides by the denominator, divide by x, square both sides, and then add two.
00:40
All right, then for part b, we want to graph the two functions on the same line or on the same graph.
00:46
So if we grab this function, the original, which is the y equals 1 over square root of x minus 2.
00:58
And then if we graph the inverse, which i'm going to do here in blue.
01:17
All right.
01:17
So we see if we have the two graph together.
01:19
So now for part c, they wanted us to graph y equals x on there.
01:28
So we have y equals x line to be here.
01:32
And we see that between the three graphs there's going to be an intersection point right there and that intersection point has to be at 2 .206 comma 2 .206 for d they want us to prove that our inverse is correct how we do that is by composing the two functions is going to be f of f minus one or f inverse of x so in our f function we're going to have one over the square root and now we're going to have our inverse function where our x would be so it's going to be one over x squared plus two and then minus two so we're going to simplify one over the square root of we can rewrite this what the twos are going to cancel.
02:51
So we write this as x to the negative 2.
02:58
Or actually, we can keep that as 1 over x squared.
03:05
So denominator return into just 1 over x or just x.
03:11
So since our composition is equivalent to x, then these two are inversions of each other...
