Question

Find a formula for the inverse of the following function, if possible.

W(x)=4x^1/5+3

Selecting a radio button will replace the entered answer value(s) with the radio button value. If the radio button is not selected, the entered answer is used.

W^-1(x) = ___________________ does not have an inverse function

Answer 1

Answer 2

You find the inverse by essentially just switching the x and y places

Answer 3

\[W(x) = 4x^{\frac{ 1 }{ 5}} + 3\]

that's what it look like

Answer 4

W(x) 4y^1/5 + 3 you mean ?

Answer 5

w = 4/y^4/5 + 3/y

Answer 6

Sorry
you can substitute y = W(x)
so y = 4x^{1/5} + 3
so
x = 4y^{1/5} + 3

Answer 7

so
4y^(1/5) = x-3
y^(1/5) = (x-3)/4

Answer 8

W^-1(x) = y^(1/5) = (x-3)/4 is the answer ?

Answer 9

no y is the inverse
y^(1/5) = (x-3)/4
y = ((x-3)/4)^5

so ((x-3)/4)^5
is the inverse

Answer 10

it wasn't right

Answer 11

what's the answer?

Answer 12

it don't say
