given that the function f(x)=x^2-6x has domain [3,infinite), which of the following functions is the inverse of f(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve \[x=y^2-6y\] in a few steps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is, solve for \(y\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"no" is a fine answer, just asking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i do.. would it be y=3+sqrt9+x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe let me check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3+\sqrt{x+9}\] yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plus the radical because of the domain, otherwise it would be \(\pm\) which is not a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so then whatttt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then go have a beer you are done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{x+9}+3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or however you need to write it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahahaha ill take you up on that in 3 years. ill post another question soon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is a long time before my next beer though
