    Consider f : R+ is given by f(x) = x2 + 4 show that f is invertible with the inverse f-1 of given by  where R+ is set of all non negative real numbers.

    Answer:

    Given f(x) = x2 + 4, Df = R+ = [0, )       Injectivity : Let x1, x2 be any two elements of R+ such that f(x1) = f(x2)                   But both x1 and x2 are positive real numbers       Therefore x1 = x2       So f : R+  is one-one.       Surjectivity : Let then y = f(x)                    Corresponding to every element y of  there exists a unique element  such that        is onto.       Hence f is both one-one and onto             To find inverse of f :
