for these kinds of questions you should first solve for x:
y +36 = x^2 ⇒ √y+36 = x
now the inverse of this equation is:
√x + 36 = y :)))
i hope this is helpful
have a nice day

Answer:


y=√(x+36)

Explanation:

Since, for finding the inverse of a function f(x) we follow the following steps,

Step 1 : Replace f(x) by y,

Step 2 : Interchange x and y,

Step 3 : isolate y in the left side,

Step 4 : Replace y by
f^(-1)(x)

Given equation is,


y=x^2-36

Here, we do not need to apply step 1 and step 4,

Now, Interchange x and y,


x=y^2-36


-y^2=-x-36


y^2=x+36

Taking square root both sides,


y=√(x+36)

Which is the required equation of inverse of the given equation.
