I'm trying to find the inverse of an equation and I'm not sure what to do next. http://oi43.tinypic.com/xldkhu.jpg

hartnn (hartnn):

how u got x= 3ln y ?

hartnn (hartnn):

f(x) = 3+ ln x y= 3+ ln x interchange 'x' and 'y' x = 3+ ln y can u try to isolate 'y' from here ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(I'm just a tard who makes mistakes too often on her math homework...) Right now I have x-3=lny.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not sure what to do now

hartnn (hartnn):

you are correct till that step! now use this : \(\large a= \ln b \implies e^a = b\) from the definition , so what about (x-3) = ln y ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=e ^{x-3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that the right answer?

hartnn (hartnn):

absolutely! thats your inverse function :)

Thanks for the help! :)

welcome ^_^
