Answer:

Explanation:

Find the inverse of y = x^7.

Start by interchanging x and y. We get: x = y^7

Next, solve this result for y. Taking the log of both sides, we get:

log x = 7 log y. Here the base of the log function is 10.

Then 7 log y = log x.

Dividing both sides of this result by 7, we get:

log y = (log x) / 7, or (1/7)log x. This is basically the inverse of y = x^7.
