The function f[x_] := x^2 is not one-to-one, even on just the real numbers; and on the complex numbers it is exactly two-to-one (except at x = 0). So it has no inverse function (as a real-valued function of a real variable). So what are you really trying to ask? On 1/14/2011 6:16 AM, Arnold wrote: > Function y=x^2 is given.
