Answer:
f^-1 (x) = 1+ln( (x-3)/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
hello :
let f(x) = y so : y = 2e^(x-1) +3
calculate x : e^(x-1) = (y-3)/2
for : y-3 > 0 : x-1 = ln( (y-3)/2) so : x= 1+ln( (y-3)/2)
If(x)= 2e^(x-1) +3 , what is f^-1 (x) = 1+ln( (x-3)/2)
Hey, I think an image is needed to answer this question.
