Asked by H
If y = x^3 + 2x^2 if reflected across the line y =x, what is the resulting equation?
This is what I have so far:
x = y^3 - 2y^2
x = y^2 (y - 2)
x/(y-2) = y^2 <---- this is where my problem starts, I know I am not supposed to have y on both sides but am unsure as to how I eliminate it.

why the minus sign? Reflecting across y=x is just like finding the inverse function. In other words, you have
x = y^3+2y^2
