Answer:

f(x)⁻¹ = (x - 11)²

Explanation:

To find the inverse of the function, you need to (1) swap the places of the "x" and "y" variables and then (2) solve for "y". Remember, f(x) is another way of writing "y".

y = √x + 11 <----- Original equation

x = √y + 11 <----- Swap variables

x - 11 = √y <----- Subtract 11 from both sides

(x - 11)² = (√y)² <----- Square both sides

(x - 11)² = y <----- Simplify

Another way of writing the output of an inverse function is with f(x)⁻¹.
