Given the function

, find the inverse function
1) Write the function as:
2) Swap the x and y:

3) Solve for y:

4) Write in inverse function form by replacing y with

:
Check: Recall that:

= x
Similarly for

1) Write as:

2) Swap the variables:

3) Solve for y:

4) Write the inverse function form:
Check: Recall that

= x
