find the inverse f^-1 of f(x) = 3x^2, where x ≥ 0. Then find f^-1(12)

To find the inverse, switch x and y in the equation, making it \(x=3y^2\) and plugging in 12, you get 2 or -2.

First, we solve f^-1, which can be done by setting f(y)=x...

 

Thus, we have 3y^2=x

\(y=\frac{\sqrt{3x}}{3}\).

 

Thus, f^-1(12) is \(y=\frac{\sqrt{3*12}}{3}=\pm2.\)
