CPM Homework Help : CCA2 Problem 12-80

Write an equation for the curve at right. Then sketch the graph of the inverse of this graph and write its equation.

Hint:

What parent graph is this similar to?
How is this graph transformed from the parent graph?
Notice that you are given a point other than the locator point so you can solve for $a$ .

More Help:

To find the inverse equation, interchange $x$ and $y$ and solve for $y$ .
To graph the inverse equation, choose some points on this graph and interchange $x$ and $y$ .

Rapidly increasing curve, from bottom left, changing from opening down, to opening up, at the point (3, comma 3), & passing through the point (5, comma 4).
