Q. For the function f(x)=7x5, find f−1(x).f−1(x)=75xf−1(x)=5(7x)f−1(x)=(7x)5f−1(x)=75x
Original Function: 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. The original function is f(x)=7x5, which we can write as y=7x5.
Replace y with x: Replace y with x to begin finding the inverse function: x=7y5.
Isolate y: Now, solve for y. To do this, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. Start by dividing both sides by 7: (x/7)=y5.
Take fifth root: Next, take the fifth root of both sides to solve for y: y=5(7x).
Write Inverse Function: Now that we have solved for y, we can write the inverse function: f−1(x)=5(7x).
