16 represents the # of small pair of gloves and 2 is the # of large pair of gloves
To solve this problem you must appy the proccedure shown below:
1. You have the following function given in the problem above:
f(x)=e^2x
2. You can rewrite is:
y=e^2x
3. Interchange the variables, as below:
x=e^2y
3. The inverse of an exponential function is the logarithm function. Thereforem you have:
ln(x)=ln(e^2y)
ln(x)=2y
4.Then, you have:
y=ln(x)/2
Therefore, the answer is:
f^-1(x)=ln(x)/2
2 square feet
Hope this helps!

Im sure its <span>For any x-value, the y-value of the exponential function is always smaller.</span>
