Answer

$f^{-1} (x)=-x-1$ Domain of the function $f$ is: $[1, \infty)$. Domain of the inverse of function $f$ is: $(-\infty,-2]$.

Work Step by Step

We have $y=-|x-1|-2=-(x-1)-2=-x-1$ To compute the inverse, we will have to interchange $x$ and $y$. $x=-y-1$ Re-write as: $ y=-x-1$ Replace $y$ with $f^{-1} (x)$. so, $f^{-1} (x)=-x-1$
