To answer this question, first, we set the following equation:


y=(x-5)^2,

and solve it for x.

Taking the square root, we get:


\sqrt[]{y}=x-5.

Adding 5 to both sides of the equation, we get:


\sqrt[]{y}+5=x.

Now, we exchange x for y:


y=\sqrt[]{x}+5.

Therefore:


f^(-1)(x)=\sqrt[]{x}+5.

Answer:


f^(-1)(x)=\sqrt[]{x}+5.
