**Finding the Inverse of a Function**

**Problem Statement:**

Find the inverse of the function on the given domain.

\[ f(x) = (x - 11)^2, \; [11, \infty) \]

\[ f^{-1}(x) = \]

**Explanation:**

To find the inverse of \( f(x) \), follow these general steps:

1. Replace \( f(x) \) with \( y \):
   \[ y = (x - 11)^2 \]

2. Swap \( x \) and \( y \):
   \[ x = (y - 11)^2 \]

3. Solve for \( y \):
   \[ \sqrt{x} = y - 11 \]
   \[ y = \sqrt{x} + 11 \]

4. Therefore, the inverse function \( f^{-1}(x) \) is:
   \[ f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} + 11 \]

**Note:**
Since the domain of \( f(x) \) is \([11, \infty)\), the range of \( f^{-1}(x) \) will also be \([11, \infty)\). The inverse function \( f^{-1}(x) \) will only be defined for \( x \geq 0 \), because the square root function requires non-negative inputs.

Thus, the final inverse function considering the original domain is:
\[ f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x} + 11 \]
