Consider the function “y=3^{x+6}”
Interchange the variable “x” and “y” to obtain,
“x=3^{y+6}”
Take log of base “e” both sides as,
“ln( x)=ln( 3^{y+6})”
Use the power property of logarithm “ln( a^{m})=mln( a)” to simplify the right hand side of the equation as,
“ln( x)=(y+6 )ln( 3)”
“ln( x)=yln( 3)+6ln( 3)”
“ln( x)-6ln( 3)=yln( 3)”
“y=frac{ln( x)-6ln( 3)}{ln( 3)}”
The sketch of the curve and its inverse is as shown in the figure below:
Here, the curve and it’s inverse is symmetric about the line “y=x” .
