Find the Inverse f(x)=x^4-6

$f (x) = x^{4} - 6$

Step 1

Write $f (x) = x^{4} - 6$ as an equation.

$y = x^{4} - 6$

Step 2

Interchange the variables.

$x = y^{4} - 6$

Step 3

Solve for $y$ .

Rewrite the equation as $y^{4} - 6 = x$ .

$y^{4} - 6 = x$

Add $6$ to both sides of the equation.

$y^{4} = x + 6$

Take the 4th root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$y = \pm \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

First, use the positive value of the $\pm$ to find the first solution.

$y = \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$

Next, use the negative value of the $\pm$ to find the second solution.

$y = - \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$y = \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$

$y = - \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$

$y = \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$

$y = - \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$

$y = \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$

$y = - \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$

Step 4

Replace $y$ with $f^{- 1} (x)$ to show the final answer.

$f^{- 1} (x) = \sqrt[4]{x + 6}, - \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$

Step 5

Verify if $f^{- 1} (x) = \sqrt[4]{x + 6}, - \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$ is the inverse of $f (x) = x^{4} - 6$ .

The domain of the inverse is the range of the original function and vice versa. Find the domain and the range of $f (x) = x^{4} - 6$ and $f^{- 1} (x) = \sqrt[4]{x + 6}, - \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$ and compare them.

Find the range of $f (x) = x^{4} - 6$ .

The range is the set of all valid $y$ values. Use the graph to find the range.

Interval Notation:

$[- 6, \infty)$

Find the domain of $\sqrt[4]{x + 6}$ .

Set the radicand in $\sqrt[4]{x + 6}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$x + 6 \geq 0$

Subtract $6$ from both sides of the inequality.

$x \geq - 6$

The domain is all values of $x$ that make the expression defined.

$[- 6, \infty)$

Find the domain of $f (x) = x^{4} - 6$ .

The domain of the expression is all real numbers except where the expression is undefined. In this case, there is no real number that makes the expression undefined.

$(- \infty, \infty)$

Since the domain of $f^{- 1} (x) = \sqrt[4]{x + 6}, - \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$ is the range of $f (x) = x^{4} - 6$ and the range of $f^{- 1} (x) = \sqrt[4]{x + 6}, - \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$ is the domain of $f (x) = x^{4} - 6$ , then $f^{- 1} (x) = \sqrt[4]{x + 6}, - \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$ is the inverse of $f (x) = x^{4} - 6$ .

$f^{- 1} (x) = \sqrt[4]{x + 6}, - \sqrt[4]{x + 6}$

Step 6
