Question
(a) If \(g(x)=x^{6}+x^{4}, x \geqslant 0\), use a computer algebra system to find an expression for \(g^{-1}(x)\).
(b) Use the expression in part (a) to graph \(y=g(x), \ y=x\), and \(y=g^{-1}(x)\) on the same screen.
Solution
The first step in solving 1.5 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (a) If \(g(x)=x^{6}+x^{4}, x \geqslant 0\), use a computer algebra system to find an expression for \(g^{-1}(x)\).(b) Use the expression in part (a) to graph \(y=g(x), \ y=x\), and \(y=g^{-1}(x)\) on the same screen.
From the textbook chapter Inverse Functions and Logarithms you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
