Find the inverse function of g.
Solution
g(x) = x^2 -6x +5
y =x^2 -6x +5
To finjd inverse plug x= y and y=x ans olve for y:
x = y^2 -6y +5
y^2 -6y +5 -x =0
Now solve for y using quadratice root formula:
y = (-b + /- sqrt(b^2 -4ac))/2a
= ( 6+ /- sqrt( 36 -4(5-x) )/2
= ( 6 + /- sqrt( 16 +4x) /2
Now for x<3 root we take only -sqrt( 16 +4x)
So, y = (6 -sqrt(16+4x)/2
f^-1(x) = (6 -sqrt(16+4x)/2
