Explanation:

To find the inverse of the exponential function y = (3/2)^x, we need to interchange the roles of x and y, and then solve for y.

So, starting with y = (3/2)^x, we can write:

x = (3/2)^y

To solve for y, we can take the logarithm of both sides with base 3/2:

log(3/2) x = y

Therefore, the inverse of the exponential function y = (3/2)^x is:

y = log(3/2) x

or in exponential form:

y = (log base 3/2) x

This function is the logarithmic function with base 3/2.

The exponential function
y=\left((3)/(2)\right)^x has an inverse function denoted as
\log _(3 / 2)(x). Therefore, the correct option is C.

To find the inverse function of the exponential function
y=\left((3)/(2)\right)^x , you can interchange x and y and solve for the new y. The inverse function is denoted as
y^(-1).

Starting with the original function:


y=\left((3)/(2)\right)^x

Interchanging x and y:


x=\left((3)/(2)\right)^y

Now, solve for y:


y=\log _{(3)/(2)}(x)

So, the correct answer is C.
