Math Problem Statement

Write the inverse of g(x) = log_6 x

Solution

To find the inverse of the given function g(x)=log6xg(x) = \log_6{x}, follow these steps:

  1. Start with the equation y=log6xy = \log_6{x}.

  2. To solve for the inverse, rewrite this in exponential form:
    6y=x6^y = x

  3. Now, switch xx and yy to find the inverse function: 6x=y6^x = y

Thus, the inverse function is g1(x)=6xg^{-1}(x) = 6^x.

The correct answer is:
6x\boxed{6^x}.
