Q. Find the inverse function of the function f(x)=45x.f−1(x)=1024x5f−1(x)=4x5f−1(x)=4x5f−1(x)=1024x5
Understand function and inverse: Understand the function and its inverse.The function f(x)=45(x) can be rewritten as f(x)=x1/5. To find the inverse function, we need to solve for x in terms of y, where y=f(x).
Swap x and y: Swap x and y.To find the inverse, we replace f(x) with y and then swap x and y to get x=y51.
Solve for y: Solve for y.To isolate y, we raise both sides of the equation to the power of 5 to get x5=y.
Rewrite with f−1(x): Rewrite the equation with f−1(x).Now that we have y on one side, we can rewrite the equation as f−1(x)=x5.
Adjust for coefficient: Adjust for the coefficient in the original function.The original function had a coefficient of 4 in front of the root. To account for this in the inverse function, we need to divide by 45, which is 1024. So the inverse function is f−1(x)=1024x5.
