Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

+\- sqrt(x-2)


Discussion:

Let y = x^2 + 2 and let's solve for "x".

Replace x by y and y by x in the above equation:

x = y^2 + 2 subtract 2 from both sides

x -2 = y^2 take the square root of both sides

+\- sqrt(x-2) = y


and y is the desired inverse.

Thank you,

MrB
