What is the inverse of f(x) = (x+6)² for x ≥ -6 where function g is the inverse of function f?

a. g(x) = x+6−−−−√, x≥−6
b. g(x) = x−6−−−−√, x≥6
c. g(x) = x√−6, x≥0
d. g(x) = x√+6, x≥0

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

We have f(x) = (x+6)² for x ≥ -6

That is

y = (x+6)²


x+6=√(y)\\\\x=√(y)-6\\\\f^(-1)(x)=√(x)-6

We know that negative of square root value is not defined.

So x should be greater than or equal to zero.

So


f^(-1)(x)=√(x)-6,x\geq 0

Option C is the correct answer.
