Q. Find the inverse function of the function f(x)=4x35 on the domain x≥0.f−1(x)=(4x)53f−1(x)=4x−53f−1(x)=4x53f−1(x)=(4x)−53
Understand function & domain: Understand the function and its domain.The given function is f(x)=4x(5/3), 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=4x(5/3). We will solve this equation for x.
Isolate x term: Isolate the term containing x.To isolate x, we first divide both sides of the equation by 4.4y=x35
Raise to power: Raise both sides of the equation to the power of (53) to cancel the exponent on x.(4y)(53)=(x(35))(53)
Simplify right side: Simplify the right side of the equation using the property of exponents (am)n=am∗n.(4y)53=x(35)⋅(53)(4y)53=x1(4y)53=x
Write inverse function: Write the inverse function.The inverse function is f−1(x)=(4x)53.
