Math Problem Statement
the function f(x)=\sqrt[4]{7x} is one to one. find an equation for f^{-1}\left(x\right), the inverse function
Solution
To find the inverse function of , follow these steps:
-
Express the function in terms of :
-
Solve for in terms of : To eliminate the fourth root, raise both sides to the power of 4: Now, solve for :
-
Interchange and : Since we are looking for the inverse function, switch and :
Thus, the inverse function is:
