Answer:
your choice is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 does not pass the horizontal line test (a horizontal line intersects its graph in two places), so its inverse does not pass the vertical line test. The inverse is not a function.
_____
Comment on the graph
The original function f(x)=x^2 is shown by the red curve. Its reflection across the orange dashed line y=x gives the inverse relation, in blue. The black horizontal and vertical lines show the multiple points of intersection with the curves, indicating the inverse relation is not a function.
