to solve
replace h(x) with y
switch x and y
solve for y
replace y with h⁻¹(x)

remember that
logx is base 10
and that

log_xy=b means
x^b=y
so


y=log(x)
x=log(y)
convert, assume base 10

10^x=y
ha! that's already solved for y

y=10^x

h^(-1)(x)=10^x

Assuming that's log base 10, the inverse would be k(x) = 10^x

h(k(x)) = x
and
k(h(x)) = x
