f(x) = x2 + 2x = y[say]

=> x2 +2x -y =0

=> x = (-2 ± √4-4y)/2 => -1±√1-y

=> f-1(x) = -1 ± √1-x

now

A : f(x) =f-1(x) => f(x)-f-1(x) = 0

=> x2 +2x - [-1 ± √1-x ] = 0

=> (x+1)2 = ± √1-x

now plot grahp ...

@ABHIRUP, how -1 ?

how did u solve?

one more method

look it if its useful

f-1(x) is the image of f(x) about y=x line

now f(x)=f-1(x) gives the point of intersection of these curves

that means image and object coincides

so this will happen only when the object is on y=x line

so f(x)=x will also give the point of intersection

x=(1+x)2-1

wow!

but y am i not getting -1 ??

bhaiya plz chcek where is it wrong ...

in the roots of quadratic eqaution

you have made a mistake in calculating D=√(b2-4ac)

f-1(x)=√x+1-1

arey i was wrong ...

hadbadi me gadbadi ... (nishant bhaiya dekhne se phirse ...i will be bashed [2])

u are right .. it is 0, -1 .

do it.... simple
y=(x+1)2 - 1
±√y+1=x+1
±√y+1-1=x

hence
±√x+1-1=f-1(x)

galti se sahi hua :P

@so this will happen only when the object is on y=x line

remove only from it...
