Exponential function?

Hey, we got this sheet for homework. I understand table 1, it's just entered into the calculator, and I understand the above too.

But I just don't understand the last two tables. What's the point of this f-1(x)? What should I interpret from it?

How do I get the solutions, I know that the last table is wrong

Hello,

f^(-1)(x) refers to the reversing function, i.e. the function which sputters the associated x value to a given y value.

To find them, you swap y and x of the original function and dissolve after y.

y^2^x.

x and y interchange: x=2^y.

Dissolve after y: ln(x)=y*ln(2).

y=ln(x)/ln(2).

Best regards,

Willy

What is this f-1(x)?

f-1 means the reverse function and in the end effect you need to swap in the table above only x and y values and get the table for f-1

By the way: In this task it is very clear that in school mathematics it is not a good idea to write fractures as decimal numbers (e.g. 0.125 instead of 1/8). This, in my opinion, completely conceals the connection here.

Sketch for this (The red graph, mirrored at the angle halving, is the graph to reverse function f-1)
