Q. Find the inverse function of the function f(x)=2x53 on the domain x≥0.f−1(x)=(2x)35f−1(x)=(2x)−35f−1(x)=2x−35f−1(x)=2x35
Understand function and domain: Understand the function and its domain.The given function is f(x)=2x(3/5), and the domain is x≥0. 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=2x(3/5). Our goal is to express x in terms of y.
Isolate term with exponent: Isolate the term with the exponent.Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate the x term.2y=x53
Raise to reciprocal: Raise both sides of the equation to the reciprocal of 53 to solve for x.(2y)35=(x53)35
Simplify right side: Simplify the right side of the equation.Since (am)n=am∗n, we have:(2y)35=x(53)∗(35)(2y)35=x1(2y)35=x
Write inverse function: Write the inverse function.The inverse function is f−1(x)=(2x)35.
