If \(f: R \rightarrow R\) is defined by \(f(x)=|x|\), then

  1. A \(f^{-1}(x)=-x\)
  2. B \(f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{|x|}\)
  3. C the function \(f^{-1}(x)\) does not exist
  4. D \(f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{x}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) the function \(f^{-1}(x)\) does not exist

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(f(x)=|x|\)
\[
f(x)= \begin{cases}x, & \text { if } x \geq 0 \\ -x, & \text { if } x \leq 0\end{cases}
\]
So, the function \(f^{-1}(x)\) does not exist.
