The function f(x) does not have an inverse.

Explanation:

Given a function of x such that y = f(x), the function has an inverse, if and only if, there is one and only one value of x that produces a given value of y.

Except for the point (-1,4) there are two values of x that produce a given value of y, therefore, there is no inverse.
