Answer :

[tex]h(x)=x+x^{ \frac{1}{2}} \\h=x+ \sqrt{x} \\x=t^2 \\h=t^2+t [/tex]
Solve for t

[tex]t^2+t-h=0 \\ \\t= \frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1+4h} }{2} \\x=t^2=(\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1+4h} }{2} )^2[/tex]

The inverse function is 

[tex]h^{-1}(x)=(\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1+4x} }{2} )^2[/tex]

Now find [tex]h^{-1}(6)[/tex]

[tex]h^{-1}(6)=(\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1+4\times 6} }{2} )^2=(\frac{-1\pm 5 }{2} )^2 \\ \\h^{-1}(6)=4\text{ or }h^{-1}(6)=9[/tex]
