    Finding inverse function with domain restriction

    AHL 2.14

    When a function f is not one to one, ie it does not pass the horizontal line test, its domain needs to be restricted for the inverse to exist.


    Example

    Let f(x)=(x−1)2+2, and g(x)=f(x) for x≥a. Find the smallest possible value of a such that g−1 exists.


    The parabola (x−1)2+2 has a vertex at (1,2). We therefore need to "cut" the function there so that the inverse exists. Hence a=1.
