Let

y =  2 + ( x - 2)^2

y - 2  =  (x - 2)^2       take both roots 

±√[ y - 2 ] = x - 2      add 2 to both sides

±√[ y - 2 ] + 2  =  x    exchange x and y

±√[ x - 2 ] + 2 =  y  =  possible choices for k(x)

Since  +√[ x - 2 ] + 2   > 0    for all x  >2, then  -√[ x - 2 ] + 2  is the correct  function

[ To see this, note that   (-1,11)  is a point on  2 + ( x - 2)^2......but ( 11, -1) is not on  +√[ x - 2 ] + 2 .....however,  (11 , -1)  is on  -√[ x - 2 ] + 2  ]

So....k(x)  =  -√[ x - 2 ] + 2

Hi Chris,

This question confused me but what you have done is certainly correct. :)

I have included the graph here.

For the benefit of others.

The inverse of a function is the reflection of that function in the line y=x.

That is why I included y=x on my graph.
