Let $A = \{x ∈R: x≥1\}$. The inverse of the function $f: A→ A$ given by $f (x) = 2^{x(x-1)}$, is |
$(\frac{1}{2})^{x(x-1)}$ $\frac{1}{2}\{1+\sqrt{1+4\log_2x}\}$ $\frac{1}{2}\{1-\sqrt{1+4\log_2x}\}$ not defined |
$\frac{1}{2}\{1+\sqrt{1+4\log_2x}\}$ |
It can be easily verified that $f: A→ A$ is a bijection. Let $f (x) = y$. Then, $f(x) = y$ $⇒2^{x (x-1)}=y$ $⇒x(x-1)=\log_2 y$ $⇒ x^2-x-\log_2 y=0$ $x=\frac{1±\sqrt{1+4\log_2y}}{2}$ $⇒x=\frac{1}{2}\{1+\sqrt{1+4\log_2y}\}$ [∵ x > 1] $⇒f^{-1}(y)=\frac{1}{2}\{1+\sqrt{1+4\log_2y}\}$ Hence, $f^{-1}:A→A$ is given by $⇒f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{2}\{1+\sqrt{1+4\log_2x}\}$ |
