Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we have the graph y=f(x).
And we want to find:
Remember that the inverse of a function is simply the x-values and y-values swapped. To see this, let's let our inverse equal y:
This means that we have the point:
So, to find our solution, we will swap the x- and y-coordinates. This gives us:
So, simply need to find the x-coordinate such that y is 0.
From our graph, we can see the point (6,0). In other words:
So:
And we're done!

Because I've gone ahead with trying to parameterize directly and learned the hard way that the resulting integral is large and annoying to work with, I'll propose a less direct approach.
Rather than compute the surface integral over straight away, let's close off the hemisphere with the disk

so the flux over the closed region is
The total flux over the closed surface is equal to the flux over its component surfaces, so we have
