Answer:

`f^(-1)(x)=\pm√(x-10)`

Explanation:

You can find the inverse of

y = f(x)

by solving for y:

x = f(y)

__

x = y² +10

x -10 = y² . . . . . . . . subtract 10

±√(x -10) = y . . . . . take the square root

The inverse relation is ...

`\boxed{f^(-1)(x)=\pm√(x-10)}`

__

It is not a function unless some restriction is placed on the domain of f(x).
