The graph of the inverse of the function
\text{f(x)} = √(x + 4) - 2 is added as an attachment

How to determine the graph that represents the inverse function

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:


\text{f(x)} = √(x + 4) - 2

Represent the function as an equation

So, we have


\text{y} = √(x + 4) - 2

Swap the variables x and y

This gives


\text{x} = √(y + 4) - 2

So, we have


\text{x + 2} = √(y + 4)

Square both sides


(x + 2)^2 = y + 4

Make the variable y the subject


y = (x + 2)^2 - 4

Express as an inverse function


f^(-1)(x) = (x + 2)^2 - 4

The graph of the inverse function is added as an attachment
