Q. Find the inverse function of the function f(x)=(4x)59 on the domain x≥0.f−1(x)=4x95f−1(x)=(4x)95f−1(x)=4x59f−1(x)=(4x)59
Rewrite with y: To find the inverse function, we need to switch the roles of x and y in the original function and then solve for y. Let's start by rewriting the function with y:y=(4x)59
Switch x and y: Now, we switch x and y to find the inverse function:x=(4y)59
Isolate y: To solve for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. We start by raising both sides of the equation to the power of 95 to cancel out the exponent on the right side: (x)95=((4y)59)95
Raise to power: When we raise a power to a power, we multiply the exponents. In this case, (59)×(95)=1, so we are left with:(x)95=4y
Divide by 4: Now, we divide both sides by 4 to solve for y:y=4x(5/9)
Find inverse function: We have found the inverse function, which we denote as f−1(x):f−1(x)=4x95
