How do I change the subject of the equation from x to y in the following equation:
$$x=[4.105-\ln(\sqrt{y})]^2$$

1Exponentiate rhs and lhs, may be ! – Claude Leibovici Jul 15 '14 at 10:28

2why did you remove your work? Leave it, it shows your effort... – draks ... Jul 15 '14 at 10:29

Because when I did my own work I did not notice there was a - (minus sign) which makes everything completely wrong – ADGB Jul 15 '14 at 10:31

come on you can even do that in a minute...I believe in you... – draks ... Jul 15 '14 at 10:32

1I think it is y^1/2=e^(x^(1/2)-4.105) but then there should be two results, a positive and a negative shouldn't it? – ADGB Jul 15 '14 at 10:33

Correct, after a certain period, you can even post your own answer to your question. BTW: Welcome to MSE... – draks ... Jul 15 '14 at 10:35

Since this is where you got stuck previously, here is my
HINT: What is the inverse function to $\ln$?
$$\exp(\ln(f(x)))=f(x)$$

$$x=[4.105-\ln(\sqrt{y})]^2 \Rightarrow \pm\sqrt{x}=4.105-\ln(\sqrt{y}) \Rightarrow \pm\sqrt{x}=4.105-\ln({y}^{\frac{1}{2}}) \Rightarrow \\ \pm\sqrt{x}=4.105-\frac{1}{2}\ln({y}) \Rightarrow \ln{(y)}=2 \cdot 4.105\pm2 \sqrt{x} \Rightarrow y=e^{2 \cdot 4.105\pm2 \sqrt{x}}$$
