Below are graphs of 4 different functions.

Sketch a graph of the inverse of each of the

functions.

Now, find the inverse of 𝒇(𝒙) = (𝟒𝒙)𝟑 − 𝟔

Step 1:

Step 2:
Graphs of Exponential Functions:

𝒚 = 𝟐(𝟏. 𝟓)𝒙 𝒚 = 𝟏𝟐(. 𝟖𝟎)𝒙

𝒚 = 𝟓(𝟏. 𝟑)𝒙 − 𝟐 𝒚 = 𝟏𝟎(. 𝟕𝟓)𝒙 + 𝟒

One More:

𝒚 = 𝟓(𝟏. 𝟐)𝒙 + 𝟑

Now, let’s graph the inverse of the function.

 Now, let’s find the equation of the inverse:

𝒚 = 𝟓(𝟏. 𝟐)𝒙 + 𝟑

y-intercept: _____________ Asymptote:______________________

Step 1:

Step 2:

x-intercept:______________ Asymptote:______________________

Try: Find the inverse of each of the following exponential functions.

𝒇(𝒙) = 𝟐(𝟏𝟎)𝒙−𝟏 𝒈(𝒙) = 𝟓(𝟑)𝒙 − 𝟕 𝒉(𝒙) = ⅇ𝒙+𝟓 + 𝟏𝟐

Since the inverse of an exponential function is a ____________________________________

Then the inverse of a ___________________________ is an ___________________________

Finding the inverse of a log function

𝟏
𝒚 = 𝒍𝒐𝒈(𝒙 − 𝟐) + 𝟏 𝒚 = 𝒍𝒐𝒈𝟒 (𝟓𝒙)
𝟑

Now you try:

𝒙
𝒚 = 𝒍𝒐𝒈𝟐 (𝒙 + 𝟓) − 𝟔 𝒚 = 𝟐 𝒍𝒏 ( ) − 𝟔
𝟑
