y = x2 where the domain is the set of real numbers does not have an inverse, because the square root function is a one-two-two mapping (except at 0).
Any polynomial with more than one root, over the reals, has no inverse.
y = 1/x has no inverse across 0.
But it is possible to define the domain so that each of these functions has an inverse.
For example y = x2 where x is non-negative has the square root function as its inverse.

What are the inverses of hyperbolic functions?
If f(x)=y, then the inverse function solves for y when x=f(y). You may have to restrict the domain for the inverse function to be a function. Use this concept when finding the inverse of hyperbolic functions.
How do you find the horizontal asymptote of a trig function?
The only trig functions i can think of with horizontal assymptotes are the inverse trig functions. and they go assymptotic for everytime the non-inverse function is equal to zero.
Why a constant function doesn't have an inverse function?
When graphing functions, an inverse function will be symmetric to the original function about the line y = x. Since a constant function is simply a straight, horizontal line, its inverse would be a straight, vertical line. However, a vertical line is not a function. Therefore, constant functions do not have inverse functions. Another way of figuring this question can be achieved using the horizontal line test. Look at your original function on a graph. If any horizontal line intersects the graph of the original function more than once, the original function does not have an inverse. The constant function is a horizontal line. Under the assumptions of the horizontal line test, a horizontal line infinitely will cross the original function. Thus, the constant function does not have an inverse function.
In the inverse variation function what happens to the output when the functions input value is multiplied by 4?
the output is divided by 4
What is an inverse cosine?
The inverse of the cosine is the secant.
Why inverse is called Circular function?
An inverse is NOT called a circular function. Only inverse functions that are circular functions are called circular functions for obvious reasons.
What are the two types of inverse functions?
These are the for inverse operations:Multiplications inverse is divisionDivisions inverse is multiplicationAdditions inverse is subtractionSubtractions inverse is addition
Is inverse of a function always positive?
No.Some functions have no inverse.
What is the relationships between inverse functions?
The inverse of the inverse is the original function, so that the product of the two functions is equivalent to the identity function on the appropriate domain. The domain of a function is the range of the inverse function. The range of a function is the domain of the inverse function.
What is a relation and its inverse relation whenever both relations are functions?
inverse function
Inverse supply and demand functions?
Q=-200+50P inverse supply function
What can undo operations?
Inverse functions? (not sure what you mean)
How are exponential and log functions related?
One is the inverse of the other, just like the arc-sine is the inverse of the sine, or division is the inverse of multiplication.
What are the inverses of hyperbolic functions?
If f(x)=y, then the inverse function solves for y when x=f(y). You may have to restrict the domain for the inverse function to be a function. Use this concept when finding the inverse of hyperbolic functions.
How do you understand inverse trigonometric formulae?
use the graph of inverse functions,whcih checks the vallues of x and y
What does the word inverse mean in math terms?
Mathematically, an inverse is an opposite, it is something that reverses what its inverse does, for example, addition and subtraction are inverse functions, as are multiplication and division. The inverse of a fraction is obtained by exchanging numerator and denominator; the inverse of a half is two.
What linear functions are non inverse function?
x = constant.
