The function f(x) = x10 is not one-to-one and therefore does not have an inverse function. The inverse would be written as f-1(x) = ±10th root of x, but it is not a true function because multiple inputs can produce the same output.

1. Find the inverse of the function. Is the inverse a function?
f(x) = x10
Choose Choice:
1 f-1 (x) = - 10th square root x
2. f-1 (x) = x10
3. f-1(x) = + or - 10th root of x
4. f -1 (x) = 10 th square root x
is the inverse a function?
3.
Solution
3. f-1(x) = + or - 10th root of x
there is no inverse function as the input function is not one to one
