SUMMARY
The inverse function of y = x√(-2x) for x < 0 can be determined by solving the equation y = f(x) = x√(-2x). To find the inverse, rearrange the equation to x = y√(-2y) and solve for y. This process involves squaring both sides and ultimately leads to solving a cubic equation. The discussion confirms that finding the inverse function requires careful manipulation and algebraic skills.
