Q. For the function f(x)=7x31, find f−1(x).f−1(x)=7x31f−1(x)=(7x)3f−1(x)=(7x)31f−1(x)=7x3
Replace with y: To find the inverse function, we start by replacing f(x) with y for easier manipulation.y=7x31
Swap x and y: Next, we swap x and y to begin solving for the inverse function.x=7y31
Isolate y: Now, we solve for y by isolating it on one side of the equation. We start by multiplying both sides by 7 to get rid of the denominator.7x=y(1/3)
Eliminate cube root: To eliminate the cube root, we raise both sides of the equation to the power of 3. (7x)3=(y1/3)3
Simplify equation: Raising both sides to the power of 3, we simplify the equation.343x3=y
Replace with f−1(x): Finally, we replace y with f−1(x) to denote the inverse function.f−1(x)=343x3
