Answer:


y=log_6(x)

Explanation:

the inverse of
y=6^x

To find inverse , we swap the variables. Replace x with y and y with x


x=6^y

Now solve for y

To solve for y , take log on both sides


log x= log(6^y)

Move the exponent y before log as per the log property


log x= y log(6)

Divide both sides by log 6


y=(logx)/(log6)

Apply change of base formula to get single log


y=log_6(x) is the inverse function
