Explanation:

To find the inverse function, swap x and y, and solve the resulting equation for x.

If the initial function is not one-to-one, then there will be more than one inverse.

So, swap the variables: y=4−(x+1)2 becomes x=4−(y+1)2.

Now, solve the equation x=4−(y+1)2 for y.

y=
√(4-x) - 1

ANSWER

y=
√(4-x) -1
