Find the Inverse log base 8 of x

$\log_{8} (x)$

Interchange the variables.

$x = \log_{8} (y)$

Solve for $y$ .

Rewrite the equation as $\log_{8} (y) = x$ .

$\log_{8} (y) = x$

Rewrite $\log_{8} (y) = x$ in exponential form using the definition of a logarithm. If $x$ and $b$ are positive real numbers and $b \neq 1$ , then $\log_{b} (x) = y$ is equivalent to $b^{y} = x$ .

$8^{x} = y$

Rewrite the equation as $y = 8^{x}$ .

$y = 8^{x}$

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

$f^{- 1} (x) = 8^{x}$

Verify if $f^{- 1} (x) = 8^{x}$ is the inverse of $f (x) = \log_{8} (x)$ .

To verify the inverse, check if $f^{- 1} (f (x)) = x$ and $f (f^{- 1} (x)) = x$ .

Evaluate $f^{- 1} (f (x))$ .

Set up the composite result function.

$f^{- 1} (f (x))$

Evaluate $f^{- 1} (\log_{8} (x))$ by substituting in the value of $f$ into $f^{- 1}$ .

$f^{- 1} (\log_{8} (x)) = 8^{\log_{8} (x)}$

Exponentiation and log are inverse functions.

$f^{- 1} (\log_{8} (x)) = x$

Evaluate $f (f^{- 1} (x))$ .

Set up the composite result function.

$f (f^{- 1} (x))$

Evaluate $f (8^{x})$ by substituting in the value of $f^{- 1}$ into $f$ .

$f (8^{x}) = \log_{8} (8^{x})$

Use logarithm rules to move $x$ out of the exponent.

$f (8^{x}) = x \log_{8} (8)$

Logarithm base $8$ of $8$ is $1$ .

$f (8^{x}) = x \cdot 1$

Multiply $x$ by $1$ .

$f (8^{x}) = x$

Since $f^{- 1} (f (x)) = x$ and $f (f^{- 1} (x)) = x$ , then $f^{- 1} (x) = 8^{x}$ is the inverse of $f (x) = \log_{8} (x)$ .

$f^{- 1} (x) = 8^{x}$
