OpenStudy (precal):

you are looking for the inverse

OpenStudy (precal):

\[y=\sqrt{x-5}\]

OpenStudy (precal):

step1 switch x and y

OpenStudy (precal):

\[x=\sqrt{y-5}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok x = sqrt y -5

OpenStudy (precal):

step 2 solve for y

OpenStudy (precal):

square both sides

OpenStudy (precal):

\[x^2=y-5\]

OpenStudy (precal):

\[x^2+5=y\]

OpenStudy (precal):

replace y with inverse notation

OpenStudy (precal):

\[f^-1(x)=x^2+5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be A?? @precal

OpenStudy (precal):

is A and C the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes they are
