Question

What is the inverse of f(x) = x^2-36? Show all work and explain each step.

Answer 1

\(\bf f(x)={\color{blue}{ y}} = {\color{red}{ x}}^2-36\qquad inverse\implies {\color{red}{ x}}= {\color{blue}{ y}}^2-36\)

solve for "y"

notice that to find the "inverse relationship", all you do is swap about the variables

Answer 2

can you show me how to solve for y
