Functions - Sketching a Function and Its Inverse

Functions - Sketching a Function and Its Inverse

The function \(g\) is defined by \(g: x \mapsto x^{2} + 2x - 3, x \in \mathbb{R}, x > -1\). Sketch the graphs of \(y = \mathrm{g}(x)\) and \(y = g^{-1}(x)\), indicating the relationship of the two graphs, and find the exact value of \(x\) for which \(\mathrm{g}(x) = g^{-1}(x)\).
