Answer:

y = (x - 4)² + 2 , x ≥ 4.

Explanation:

Finding the inverse of

f(x) = 4 + √(x - 2)

Begin by swapping the x and y variables in the equation:

x = 4 + √(y - 2)

Subtract 4 from both sides:

x - 4 = √(y - 2)

Square both sides:

(x - 4)² = y - 2

Add 2 to both sides to get your equation:

y = (x - 4)² + 2

However, the domain restriction also needs to be included since the question involves finding the inverse of a square root function. In this case, the domain restriction would be x ≥ 4.
