What is the inverse of f(x)=10^x ?

OpenStudy (danjs):

solve x = 10 ^y

OpenStudy (danjs):

for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be log base 10 of x = y ?

OpenStudy (danjs):

yes, so the inverse function f^-1(x) = log base 10 of x

OpenStudy (danjs):

The inverse function is a reflection of the graph over the line y = x

OpenStudy (danjs):

graph both of those and graph y = x to see this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why is it marking me wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@DanJS

OpenStudy (danjs):

do you have to enter the base somehow?

OpenStudy (danjs):

try to put in log(x) / log(10)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yes it worked. thank you!
