\"\"

\

Horizontal line test :

\

A function is one-to-one if and only if no horizontal line intersects its graph more than once.

\

\"\"

\

The function is \"\".

\

Graph :

\

Draw a coordinate plane.

\

Graph the function \"\".

\

Draw a horizontal line \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Observe the graph :

\

The horizontal line \"\" touches the graph of the function at more than one point.

\

Therefore, the function is not one-to-one.

\

A function has an inverse function if and only if it is one-to-one.

\

Since the function is not one-to-one on its entire domain and therefore inverse does not exist. 

\

\"\"

\

Inverse function does not exists.
