Q. Find the inverse function of the function f(x)=5x−37 on the domain x>0.f−1(x)=5x−73f−1(x)=5x−37f−1(x)=(5x)−37f−1(x)=(5x)−73
Understand Function & Domain: Understand the function and its domain.The given function is f(x)=5x(−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=5x(−7/3). Our goal is to express x in terms of y.
Isolate x Term: Isolate the term with the variable x. To isolate x, we first divide both sides of the equation by 5. 5y=x(−37)
Raise to Power: Raise both sides of the equation to the power of −73 to cancel the exponent on x.(5y)−73=(x−37)−73
Simplify Equation: Simplify the right side of the equation.Since the exponents on the right side are inverse operations, they cancel each other out, leaving us with x.(y/5)(−3/7)=x
Write Inverse Function: Write the inverse function.The inverse function, denoted by f−1(x), is then given by:f−1(x)=(5x)−73
