Question 87

A sketch of the graph of y = g(x) with a straight left branch meeting an upward-curving right branch, and axes labelled x, y and O.

The diagram shows a sketch of y=g(x)y = g(x)y=g(x), where

g(x)={3−2xx<1(x−1)2+1x≥1 g(x) = \begin{cases} 3 - 2x & x < 1 \\ (x - 1)^2 + 1 & x \geq 1 \end{cases} g(x)={3−2x(x−1)2+1​x<1x≥1​

c.

The function h h\,h is defined as h(x)=(x−1)2+1x≥1h(x) = (x - 1)^2 + 1 \quad x \geq 1h(x)=(x−1)2+1x≥1. Explain why h h\,h has an inverse but g g\,g does not.
