Q. For the function f(x)=(5x71)3, find f−1(x).f−1(x)=(35x)7f−1(x)=53x7f−1(x)=35x7f−1(x)=(53x)7
Replace and Switch: 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) = igg(rac{x^{1/7}}{5}igg)^3. Let's replace f(x) with y for clarity:y = igg(rac{x^{1/7}}{5}igg)^3Now, switch x and y:x0Next, we need to solve this equation for y.
Cube Root Isolation: To isolate the term with y, we need to get rid of the cube on the right side. We can do this by taking the cube root of both sides:3x=5y71Now we have the cube root of x equals y to the power of 71 divided by 5.
Multiply by 5: To further isolate y, we need to multiply both sides by 5:5×3x=y71Now we have 5 times the cube root of x equals y to the power of 71.
Raise to Power of 7: To solve for y, we need to raise both sides to the power of 7 to get rid of the exponent 71 on the right side:(5⋅3x)7=yNow we have y on one side, and the expression (5 times the cube root of x) raised to the power of 7 on the other side.
Final Inverse Function: We have found the inverse function:f−1(x)=(5⋅3x)7This is the inverse function of the original function f(x).
