Question 18 • Algebra II

Which equation is the inverse of y is equal to 9 x squared minus 4 ?

Answer
A
y is equal to the fraction with numerator plus or minus square root of x and denominator 3 plus 2 thirds
B
y is equal to the fraction with numerator plus or minus square root of x plus 4 end root and denominator 9
C
y is equal to the fraction with numerator plus or minus square root of x plus 4 end root and denominator 3

Explanation

To find the inverse, swap x and y in y = 9x² − 4, giving x = 9y² − 4. Solving for y gives y² = (x + 4)/9, so y = ±√(x + 4)/3. This matches choice C, with the plus-or-minus sign accounting for both square roots.
