Graph out y = 6x^2+11 to find that it fails the horizontal line test.

It is possible to draw a single horizontal line through more than one point on the parabola.
This function is not one-to-one, i.e. the function is not injective.

As such, no inverse exists if we account for the entire domain of f(x) = 6x^2+11

But if we restrict the domain to , then the graph passes the horizontal line test. This is the right hand side of the parabola.

The outline to finding the inverse follows these steps
1) Replace f(x) with y
2) Swap x and y
3) Solve for y

Let's follow that process
f(x) = 6x^2+11
y = 6x^2+11
x = 6y^2+11
x-11 = 6y^2
6y^2 = x-11
y^2 = (x-11)/6
y = sqrt( (x-11)/6 )


The inverse is

The green graph represents the original function f(x) = 6x^2+11 but only when
The inverse is the blue curve, which is a reflection of the green curve over the dashed purple line y = x
