If \(f(x)=\log_{e}(x+\sqrt{1+x^{2}})\) then \(f^{-1}(x)\) is equal to
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
\(y=\log_e(x+\sqrt{1+x^2})\)
so $e^y=x+\sqrt{1+x^2}$ ...(1)
as it is an odd function
$e^{-y}-x+\sqrt{1+x^2}$ ...(2)
so eq(1) - eq(2)
$e^y-e^{-y}=2x$
so $\frac{e^y-e^{-y}}{2}$
so $f^{-1}(x)=\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{2}$
