Understanding Functions and Their Inverses

The video tutorial explains how to determine the domain and range of a function involving a square root, and how to find its inverse. It covers the restrictions on the domain due to the square root, and how to express the domain and range using interval notation. The tutorial also demonstrates how to find the inverse function by interchanging variables and solving for y, and verifies the results graphically by showing symmetry across the line y = x.

What is the domain of the function f(x) = √(2x - 1) - 3?

• x ≥ 1

• x ≥ 0

• x ≥ 1/2

• x > 0

In interval notation, how is the domain of f(x) = √(2x - 1) - 3 expressed?

• [1/2, ∞)

• [1, ∞)

• (1/2, ∞)

• [0, ∞)

What is the range of the function f(x) = √(2x - 1) - 3?

• y ≥ 0

• y ≥ -3

• y > -3

• y > 0

How is the range of f(x) = √(2x - 1) - 3 expressed in interval notation?

• [0, ∞)

• (-3, ∞)

• (-∞, -3]

• [-3, ∞)
