Q. Find the inverse function of the function f(x)=25x.f−1(x)=−32x5f−1(x)=32x5f−1(x)=−2x5f−1(x)=2x5
Understand function form: Understand the function and its form.The given function is f(x)=25(x), which means f(x)=2×x1/5. To find the inverse function, we need to solve for x in terms of y, where y=f(x).
Replace with y: Replace f(x) with y to prepare for finding the inverse.Let y=2⋅x51.
Solve for x: Solve for x in terms of y.To isolate x, we first divide both sides by 2.2y=x51
Raise to power 5: Raise both sides to the power of 5 to eliminate the fifth root.$\left(\frac{y}{\(2\)}\right)^\(5\) = \left(x^{\frac{\(1\)}{\(5\)}}\right)^\(5\)
Replace with \(f^{-1}(x)\): Simplify both sides.\(\left(\frac{y}{2}\right)^5 = x\)
Expand expression: Replace \(y\) with \(f^{-1}(x)\) to express the inverse function.\(\newline\)\(f^{-1}(x) = \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^5\)
Calculate \(2^5\): Expand the expression.\(\newline\)\(f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x^5}{2^5}\)
Write final expression: Calculate \(2^5\).\(\newline\)\(2^5 = 32\)
Write final expression: Calculate \(2^5\).\(\newline\)\(2^5 = 32\) Write the final expression for the inverse function.\(\newline\)\(f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x^5}{32}\)
