Thus, since the squaring the square root of a

Therefore, this would appear to be a case where f(x) is the inverse of g(x), but
g(x) is *not* the inverse of f(x) !

You are correct in all. However, some folks define inverse to be symmetric, so we should watch for that usage. By symmetric, I mean that your last statement cannot be true. In that usage.
