inverse function of f(x) = sqrt x +4 -1

To find the inverse function of f(x) = sqrt(x) + 4 - 1, we first need to switch the roles of x and y and then solve for y.

Let y = sqrt(x) + 4 - 1

Swap x and y:

x = sqrt(y) + 4 - 1

Simplify:

x = sqrt(y) + 3

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x - 3 = sqrt(y)

Square both sides to eliminate the square root:

(x - 3)^2 = y

Therefore, the inverse function is:

f^(-1)(x) = (x - 3)^2
