It is asking for the possible values of x and y for the inverse of this function. Remember you cannot divide by zero.

OpenStudy (poofypenguin):

But how do you find the inverse?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hym im not sure on that one. Im guessing it does not effect the domain, but that's strictly a guess.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause think about what an inverse function is. The domain of an inverse function is the co-domain of the original function and its co-domain is the domain. get it?

OpenStudy (poofypenguin):

yeah, i got that...but the question is asking for what the inverse function is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve for x then switch x and y

i tried that but it didn't really go anywhere

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hym, its rough with that 19...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHHH ok. i got it.

OpenStudy (poofypenguin):

that's great! how did you do it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is your inverse function: (spoiler alert) http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=inverse+of+%283e%5Ex-9%29%2F%2819e%5Ex%2B9%29
