Answer:

to determine the inverse of the given function, change f(x) to y, switch
\boxed{x} and y and solve for
\boxed{y}

The resulting function can be written as


f^(-1)(x)=x^2+\boxed{4} where
x\geq\boxed{0}

Explanation:

Hello,

f is defined for
x\geq 4 as x-4 must be greater or equal to 0

and
f(x)\geq 0

so
f^(-1) is defined for
x\geq 0

and then we can write


x=(fof^(-1))(x)=f(f^(-1)(x))=\sqrt{f^(-1)(x)-4} \ so\\f^(-1)(x)-4=x^2 <=> f^(-1)(x)=x^2+4

hope this helps
