Q. For the function f(x)=7(7x), find f−1(x).f−1(x)=7x7f−1(x)=7x7f−1(x)=7(7x)f−1(x)=(7x)7
Understand Function and Goal: Understand the function and the goal.The function f(x)=7(7x) is a 7th root function. We need to find its inverse, which means we want to find a function f−1(x) such that f(f−1(x))=x.
Set Equal to y: Set f(x) equal to y for convenience.Let y=f(x)=7(7x).
Swap x and y: Swap x and y to find the inverse.To find the inverse function, we swap x and y, so we get x=7(7y).
Solve for y: Solve for y.To isolate y, we need to get rid of the 7th root. We do this by raising both sides of the equation to the 7th power:$(x)^\(7\) = (\sqrt[\(7\)]{(y/\(7\))})^\(7\).
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation.\(\newline\)When we raise the \(7\)th root to the \(7\)th power, they cancel each other out, so we get:\(\newline\)\((x)^7 = \frac{y}{7}\).
Multiply by \(7\): Multiply both sides by \(7\) to solve for \(y\).\(7 \times (x)^7 = y\).
Write Inverse Function: Write the inverse function.\(\newline\)Now that we have \(y\) by itself, we can write the inverse function as:\(\newline\)\(f^{-1}(x) = 7x^{7}\).
