In summary, the inverse of f(x)= e^x/(1+2e^x) is given by the equation y= ln(x/(1-x)). To find the inverse of a function, switch the x and y variables and solve for y. Not every function has an inverse, as a function must be one-to-one to have an inverse. To check if two functions are inverses of each other, plug one function into the other and vice versa. The domain of the inverse function of f(x)= e^x/(1+2e^x) is all real numbers except -1/2, and the range is all real numbers.

Hi, nfxgosu!

You just have to solve for 'x':

[tex]f(x)=y=\frac{e^x}{1+2e^x}[/tex]

[tex](1+2e^x)y=e^x[/tex]

[tex]y+2ye^x-e^x=0[/tex]

[tex]e^x(2y-1)=-y[/tex]

[tex]e^x=-\frac{y}{2y-1} /ln[/tex]

[tex]x=\ln\frac{y}{1-2y}[/tex]

So, for the inverse function we have:

[tex]\overline{f}(x)=\ln\frac{x}{1-2x}[/tex]

Best wishes, Marine

What is the inverse of f(x)= e^x/(1+2e^x)?

The inverse of f(x)= e^x/(1+2e^x) is given by the equation y= ln(x/(1-x)).

How do you find the inverse of a function?

To find the inverse of a function, switch the x and y variables and solve for y.

Can every function have an inverse?

No, not every function has an inverse. A function must be one-to-one (every input has a unique output) in order to have an inverse.

How do you check if two functions are inverses of each other?

To check if two functions are inverses of each other, plug one function into the other and vice versa. If the result is the input value, then the functions are inverses.

What is the domain and range of the inverse function of f(x)= e^x/(1+2e^x)?

The domain of the inverse function is all real numbers except -1/2, and the range is all real numbers.
