\"\"

\

The function is \"\".

\

Graph the function \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Observe the graph, the function is decreasing over its domain.

\

To verify this find the derivative of the \"\".

\

\"\".

\

Differentiate on each side with respect to \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

Above derivative function is negative for all real values of \"\".

\

\"\" is decreasing function

\

Therefore, \"\" is strictly monotonic and has an inverse function.

\

\"\"

\

Inverse function exists because the function \"\" is monotonic.
