Answer

$f^{-1} (x)=\sqrt x+4$ Domain of the function $f$ is: $[4, \infty)$. Domain of the inverse of function $f$ is: $[0, \infty)$.

Work Step by Step

We have $y=(x-4)^2$ To compute the inverse, we will have to interchange $x$ and $y$. $x=(y-4)^2$ Re-write as: $ y=\sqrt x+4$ Replace $y$ with $f^{-1} (x)$. so, $f^{-1} (x)=\sqrt x+4$
