Q. For the function f(x)=5x−33x, find f−1(x).Answer: f−1(x)=
Rewrite with y: To find the inverse function, f−1(x), 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 instead of f(x):y=5x−33x
Switch x and y: Now, switch x and y to find the inverse: x=5y−33y
Multiply by (5y−3): Next, we need to solve for y. To do this, we'll multiply both sides of the equation by (5y−3) to get rid of the fraction:x(5y−3)=3y
Distribute x: Distribute x on the left side of the equation: 5xy−3x=3y
Move 3y term: Now, we want to get all terms containing y on one side of the equation and the constant term on the other side. Let's move the 3y term to the left side by subtracting 3y from both sides:5xy−3y=3x
Factor out y: Factor out y from the left side of the equation:y(5x−3)=3x
Divide by (5x−3): Now, divide both sides by (5x−3) to solve for y:y=(5x−3)3x
