Q. Find the inverse function of the function f(x)=4x−37 on the domain x>0.f−1(x)=(4x)−73f−1(x)=4x−73f−1(x)=(4x)−37f−1(x)=4x−37
Understand function and domain: Understand the function and its domain.The given function is f(x)=4x(−7/3), and it is defined for 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(−7/3). Our goal is to express x in terms of y.
Isolate variable x: Isolate the term with the variable x.To isolate x, we first divide both sides of the equation by 4:4y=x(−37).
Take to power: Take both sides to the power of −73 to get rid of the negative exponent.(x−37)−73=(4y)−73.
Simplify left side: Simplify the left side of the equation using the property of exponents (am)n=am∗n.x=(4y)(−73).
Write inverse function: Write the inverse function.The inverse function, denoted by f−1(x), is then:f−1(x)=(4x)−73.
