OpenStudy (anonymous):

@robtobey ?

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Generally you get the inverse of a function by switching x and y then solving for y.

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

So do you know what to do for the first equation to get the inverse?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes but If you take me through the steps it'd help me get a better understanding.

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

Ok so what's your first step? What do you get when you switch x and y?

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[y = x^{2}+4\] to find the inverse, you switch x and y and solve for y do you know how to do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes @photon336

OpenStudy (photon336):

so now it becomes

OpenStudy (photon336):

f(x) = \[x = y^{2}+4\] f^{-1}x = \[\sqrt{x-4} = y \] can you tell whether this is a function or not?
