Find the inverse function f1 of the function f Find the rang
Find the inverse function f^-1 of the function f. Find the range of f and the domain and range of f^-1. f(x) = -7 cos (6x); 0 x pi/6
Solution
f(x) = -7cos(6x) for 0< = x< = pi/6
range of f(x) = 7*[-1,1] = [ -7, 7 ] ( range of cos function is [-1, 1] )
y = -7cos(6x)
Plug x= y and y =x and solve for y :
x = -7cos(6y)
(-x/7) = cos6y----> y = (1/6) cos^-1(-x/7)
f^-1(x) =(1/6) cos^-1(-x/7)
Domainof f^-1(x) is the range of f(x) = [ -7,7 ]
Range is equal to domain of f(x) = [ 0, pi/6 ]
