Question #8bf11

Answer 1

`f(x)=x^2` does NOT have an inverse

Explanation:

First of all, the function `f(x)=x^2` will fail the horizontal line test, which means that it will NOT have an inverse. Because:

`f(-2)=4`, but
`f(2)=4` also equals to 4, a function does not have an inverse if the input is different, but the output is the same.

Therefore, any attempt to find an inverse at `f(x)=x^2` will fail, because it has been proven to not have an inverse.
