Answer

The inverse, $f^{-1}(x)$, has the following points: $(\frac{1}{4}, -2) \\(\frac{1}{2}, -1) \\(1, 0) \\(2, 1) \\(5, 2)$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: If $(a, b)$ is a point int he graph of $f(x)$, then $(b, a)$ is in the graph of $f^{-1}(x)$. $f(x)$ has the following points: $(-2, \frac{1}{4}) \\(-1, \frac{1}{2}) \\(0, 1) \\(1, 2) \\(2, 5)$ Therefore, the inverse, $f^{-1}(x)$, has the following points: $(\frac{1}{4}, -2) \\(\frac{1}{2}, -1) \\(1, 0) \\(2, 1) \\(5, 2)$
