Question

Given the function f(x) = log5(x + 1), find the value of f−1(2).

Answer 1

\(\large f^{−1}(2)\) right?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

and its log base 5

Answer 4

It essentially means when y=2, find x. So solve for x \[\large 2 = \log_5 (x + 1)\]Start by raising both sides to the power of 5.

Answer 5

it would be 24 correct?

Answer 6

\[\large 2 = \log_5 (24 + 1)\]

Answer 7

what?

Answer 8

You said x=24, so is that a true statement, or no?
\[\large 2 = \log_5 (24 + 1)\]
\[\large 2 = \log_5 25\]
