Class 12 Maths · Relations And Functions · Short Answer #166

Prove f:[0,∞)→[4,∞), f(x)=x²+4, is invertible and find its inverse.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: f⁻¹(y)=√(y−4), y≥4.
  1. If f(u)=f(v), then (u−v)(u+v)=0; nonnegative u,v imply u=v.
  2. For any y≥4 choose x=√(y−4)≥0; f(x)=y, proving onto as well as one-one.
  3. Hence f is invertible, with f⁻¹(y)=√(y−4) on [4,∞).

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] If f(u)=f(v), then (u−v)(u+v)=0; nonnegative u,v imply u=v.
  • [1 mark] For any y≥4 choose x=√(y−4)≥0; f(x)=y, proving onto as well as one-one.
  • [0.5 marks] Hence f is invertible, with f⁻¹(y)=√(y−4) on [4,∞).
