How do I find the inverse of this function? f(x)=e^(x-1)-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right now I have \[x+4=e ^{y-1}\]

hartnn (hartnn):

good, now take the natural logarithm on both sides, and use the fact that \(\large \ln e^{a}=a\) because ln and 'e' are inverse functions of each other.

hartnn (hartnn):

that fact will help you simplify the right side

hartnn (hartnn):

ln ---> natural logarithmic function 'e' ----> exponential function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got \[y=\ln(x+4)+1\]

hartnn (hartnn):

and you are correct :)

Thanks again!

welcome ^_^
