Is the inverse of a quadratic function is square root function?
yes
How does inverse function work?
Let's illustrate with an example. The square function takes a number as its input, and returns the square of a number. The opposite (inverse) function is the square root (input: any non-negative number; output: the square root). For example, the square of 3 is 9; the square root of 9 is 3. The idea, then, is that if you apply first a function, then its inverse, you get the original number back.
What is an inverse of a function?
The opposite of another function - if you apply a function and then its inverse, you should get the original number back. For example, the inverse of squaring a positive number is taking the square root.
How do you find square root of square 21?
The square root and square functions are inverse of one another EXCEPT that square root is not really a function: it is a 1-to-many mapping. So sqrt(square(21)) = sqrt(441) = ±21
Is the square root of 81 and the square root of 92 inverse operations?
