Q. Find the inverse function of the function f(x)=(3x)−35 on the domain x>0.f−1(x)=(3x)53f−1(x)=3x53f−1(x)=(3x)−53f−1(x)=3x−53
Write function as y: To find the inverse function, we first write the function as y=(3x)−35.
Swap x and y: Next, we swap x and y to find the inverse function. This gives us x=(3y)−(35).
Raise both sides: Now, we solve for y. To do this, we raise both sides of the equation to the power of (−53) to get rid of the negative exponent on the right side. This gives us x−(53)=3y.
Divide to isolate y: Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate y. This gives us y=3x−(53).
Take reciprocal of exponent: We can also write the inverse function in an equivalent form by taking the reciprocal of the exponent. This gives us y=(3x)53.
