If g(x) = x2 + 4x with x 2, find g1(5).
Solution
g(x) = x^2 + 4x
x >= -2
finding inverse function of g(x)
let y = x^2 + 4x
switch x and y
x = y^2 + 4y
y = -2 +- sqrt ( x+4)
therefore, g^-1 (x) = -2 +- sqrt ( x+4 )
g^-1 (5) = plug x = 5 in g^-1(x)
g^-1 (5) = -2 +- sqrt ( 5+4) = -2 +3 = 1 and -2-3 = -5
hence,
g^-1 (5) = 1 , - 5
