Question 1073789: Some functions that aren't invertible can be made invertible by restricting their domains. For example, the function x^2 is invertible if we restrict x to the interval [0,infinity), or to any subset of that interval. In that case, the inverse function is square root(x). (We could also restrict x^2 to the domain (-infinity,0], in which case the inverse function would be -sqrt(x)
Similarly, by restricting the domain of the function f(x) = 2x^2-4x-5 to an interval, we can make it invertible. What is the largest such interval that includes the point x=0?Thank you.
