How to find the inverse and then determine if the inverse is a function

The video tutorial explains how to solve for Y using inverse operations. It covers the process of undoing addition and squaring by applying square roots, emphasizing the importance of considering plus or minus when introducing square roots. The tutorial also discusses why distributing is not helpful in this context and finalizes the solution by rewriting Y as F inverse of X. It concludes by explaining that an inverse with a plus or minus is not a function, highlighting the difference between functions and non-functions.

What is the first step in solving for Y when it is inside parentheses and being squared?

• Divide both sides by a constant

• Add a constant to both sides

• Subtract a constant from both sides

• Multiply both sides by a constant

When taking the square root of both sides, what must you remember to include?

• An addition constant

• A plus or minus sign

• A division factor

• A multiplication factor

Why does introducing a plus or minus sign affect the nature of the inverse function?

• It eliminates the need for further operations

• It simplifies the function

• It creates multiple possible outputs for a single input

• It makes the function linear

What happens to the inverse function when a plus or minus is included?

• It becomes a linear function

• It remains a function

• It becomes a quadratic function

• It is no longer a function

In the context of inverse functions, what does it mean if you get two different answers for Y?

• The inverse is a function

• The function is linear

• The inverse is not a function

• The function is quadratic
