Question
Check if the following functions have an inverse function. If yes, find the inverse function.

$f(x)=$

Answer

$f(x)=x+7, x<0$
$
=8-x, x \geq 0
$

We observe from the graph that for two values of $x_1$ say $x_1, x_2$ the values of the function are equal.
i.e. $f\left(x_1\right)=f\left(x_2\right)$
$\therefore \mathrm{f}$ is not one-one (i.e. many-one) function.
$\therefore \mathrm{f}$ does not have inverse.
