What is the inverse of f(x)=e^x

Mathematics
1 answer:
enot [183]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

f^{-1}(x)=\ln{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

An <em>inverse</em> function is any function that "undoes" another function. If we think of the function f as some kind of machine that takes in a number x as input and produces a number f(x) as an output, when we give inverse function f^{-1} the number f(x) as in input, we get x, our original input, as the output f^{-1}(x)

We need a function that undoes f(x)=e^x, and the natural choice for undoing an exponent is with a logarithm. Here, our base is e, so we'll choose \log_e{x}=\ln{x} as our inverse function. Let's see how that works:

f^{-1}(f(x))=\ln{e^x}

\ln{e^x} is the power we have to raise e to to get e^x, which is x, so

f^{-1}(f(x))=\ln{e^x}=x

And we have our function.

If you know that 8×300=2,400, how can you find 8×320? Explain.
KATRIN_1 [288]
If 8x300=2,400, then 8x320 would equal 2,560. Why? Because 8x20=160. 2,400+160=2,560.
Hope this helps! :)

A store receives tomatoes in boxes of 40 tomatoes each. About 4 tomatoes per box cannot be sold due to damage. Write an algebrai
monitta

Answer:

40b - 4b    or 36 b

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of tomatoes in each box = 40

No. of box shipped = b

No. of tomatoes in those b box = b*No. of tomatoes in each box = 40b

No. of tomatoes damaged in each box = 4

No. of box shipped = b

No. of tomatoes damaged in those b box = b*No. of tomatoes damaged in each box = 4b

Thus, total no. of tomatoes that can be sold by store = No. of tomatoes in those b box - No. of tomatoes damaged in those b box  = 40b - 4b

Algebraic expression to express the no. of tomatoes that can be sold from those b box is

40b - 4b = 4b(10-1) = 4b(9) = 36b (Answer)
