inverse of (x+2)^2

is it
sqrt of (x) - 2

yes.

thanks

No, the inverse of (x+2)^2 is not equal to the square root of x minus 2. To find the inverse of a function, you need to interchange x and y and then solve for y.

Let's start with the function f(x) = (x+2)^2. To find the inverse, we rewrite it as y = (x+2)^2.

Step 1: Interchange x and y.
x = (y + 2)^2

Step 2: Solve for y.
Take the square root of both sides to eliminate the exponent 2.
sqrt(x) = y + 2

Now subtract 2 from both sides to solve for y.
y = sqrt(x) - 2

Therefore, the inverse of (x+2)^2 is y = sqrt(x) - 2.
