$\"\"$

\

The function is $\"\"$ .

\

Replace $\"\"$ with y.

\

$\"\"$

\

Next switch x for y and y for x.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Next solve for y :

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply each side by 4)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply distributive property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Add 16 to each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

The value of $\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

Write in function notation, using $\"\"$ to represent the inverse of the function f.

\

$\"\"$

\

"y " value substitute in above function, $\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

The inverse function of $\"\"$ is $\"\"$ .
