\"\"

\

The function is \"\"

\

f is increasing over its entire domain, \"\". To verify this, note that \"\" is positive on the domain of f. So, f is strictly monotonic and it must have an inverse function. To find an equation for the inverse function, let y = f(x) and solve for x in terms of y.

\

\"\"           (Let y = f(x))

\

\"\"           (Multiply each side by x)

\

 

\

\"\"           (Subtract x from each side)

\

 

\

\"\"        (Take out common term x)

\

\"\"        (Divide each side by \"\")

\

\"\"           (Interchange x and y)

\

\"\"   (Replace y by \"\")

\

\"\"

\

Therefore the inverse function of f is \"\".
