Back

The domain of the square root function is [0, ∞) because the square root of a negative number is not defined in the set of real numbers.

Back

The range of the square root function is [0, ∞) because the output of the square root function is always non-negative.

What is the reflection property of a function and its inverse?

Back

The graph of a function and its inverse are reflections of each other over the line y = x.

What is the significance of the point (a, b) on a function?

Back

If (a, b) is a point on the function f(x), then (b, a) will be a point on the inverse function f^-1(x).
