Parabola equation expressed after x

23 Views Asked by At

Sorry for the bad title, as English is not my main language. Let me explain better what I mean.

I have this equation of parabola: $y = x^2 + 4x $

What I want to do is get the $x$ in one side and express it in relation to $y$ so that the equation takes this form:

$x = g(y)$

How do I proceed doing that?

just add 4 on both sides

$y+4=x^2+4x+4$

$\implies (y+4)=(x+2)^2$

$\implies (x+2)=(y+4)^{1/2}$

$\implies x=(y+4)^{1/2}-2$
