Answer:


\boxed{\displaystyle f^(-1)(x) =\left((x-2)/(4)\right)^5 + 1\\}

This is the last choice on the screenshot you provided

Explanation:

Use y to represent f(x)


y=4\sqrt[5]{x-1}+2

Replace x with y and y with x:


x=4\sqrt[5]{y-1}+2

Solve for y in terms of x and that will be the inverse of f(x)

  • Switch sides:

    4\sqrt[5]{y-1}+2=x
  • Subtract 2 from both sides:

    4\sqrt[5]{y-1}=x-2

  • Divide both sides by 4

    \sqrt[5]{y-1}=(x-2)/(4)
  • Raise both sides to the 5th power to get rid of the radical

    \displaystyle \left(\sqrt[5]{y-1}\right)^5=\left((x-2)/(4)\right)^5

  • This works out to

    \displaystyle y - 1 =\left((x-2)/(4)\right)^5\\

  • Simplifying we get

    \displaystyle y =\left((x-2)/(4)\right)^5 + 1\\
  • The right side is the inverse of f(x)

Answer: Last choice on the screen, namely


\boxed{\displaystyle f^(-1)(x) =\left((x-2)/(4)\right)^5 + 1\\}
