A hint to get started
A restricted parabola and its inverse
The function is defined by for , .
(i) Sketch the graph of . Your sketch should indicate the position of the graph in relation to the origin.
(ii) Find , stating the domain of .
(iii) On the same diagram as in part (i), sketch the graph of .
(iv) Write down the equation of the line in which the graph of must be reflected in order to obtain the graph of , and hence find the exact solution of the equation .
