Let y(x) = ax2 + bx + c. The function y(x) is not invertible, however, like the function f(x) = x2 we can make some restrictions on its domain to make it invertible. Hint: Think of the example (x2) given above. Find the largest possible domain where y(x) is invertible Find its inverse function using this domain Check that it is indeed the inverse function by verifying the identity y−1(y(x)) =y(y−1(x))
