Q. Find the inverse function of the function f(x)=55x.f−1(x)=3125x5f−1(x)=5x5f−1(x)=5x5f−1(x)=3125x5
Write function as y: To find the inverse function, we first write the function as y=55x.
Express fifth root as power: Next, we express the fifth root as a power: y=(5x)51.
Swap x and y: To find the inverse, we swap x and y, so we have x=(5y)51.
Raise both sides to power of 5: Now we want to solve for y. To do this, we raise both sides of the equation to the power of 5 to eliminate the fifth root: x5=(5y)51⋅5.
Simplify right side: Simplifying the right side, we get x5=5y.
Isolate y: To isolate y, we divide both sides by 5: y=5x5.
Find inverse function: Now we have the inverse function: f−1(x)=5x5.
