About Inverse of a Domain Restricted Function:
In some cases, we need to find the inverse of a function when the domain is restricted. This will come up when trying to find the inverse of a function with a square root, or if you are asked to find the inverse of a quadratic function where the domain is restricted to create a one-to-one function.
