Question

What is the inverse of the function below? f(x) = 2^x + 6

Answer 1

Answer:

f^-1 (x) = log 2 (x-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The inverse of this function would be f(x) = $\frac{Log(x - 6)}{Log2}$.

You can find the value of any inverse function by switching the f(x) and the x value. Then you can solve for the new f(x) value. The end result will be your new inverse function. The step-by-step process is below.

f(x) = $2^{x}$ - 6 ----> Switch f(x) and x

x = $2^{f(x)}$ - 6 ----> Add 6 to both sides

x + 6 = $2^{f(x)}$ -----> Take the logarithm of both sides in order to get the f(x) out of the exponent

Log(x + 6) = f(x)Log2 ----> Now divide both sides by Log2

$\frac{Log(x + 6)}{Log2}$ = f(x) ----> And switch the order for formatting purposes.

f(x) = $\frac{Log(x + 6)}{Log2}$

And that would be your new inverse function.
