Step-by-step solution
4 stepsReplace with .
The given function is .
Let , so we have:Swap and to find the inverse relation.
Solve the equation for .
Multiply both sides by :
Distribute on the left side:
Gather all terms containing on one side of the equation and all other terms on the other side.
Subtract from both sides and subtract from both sides:Factor out from the terms on the left side:
Divide by to isolate :
This can also be written by multiplying the numerator and denominator by :
Replace with .
The inverse function is defined for all such that , which means .
