- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Given function
We need the inverse of
Let
We now solve for in terms of .
- Simplify the expression
Multiply numerator and denominator by :
Let
Then
- Solve for
From
we get
So,
Rearrange:
Hence,
Since ,
- Take logarithm
Taking natural log on both sides,
Thus,
Now,
Therefore,
Replacing by for the inverse function variable,
- Match with the options
This is exactly Option C:
- Check monotonicity / validity
The function is of the form
with , so it is essentially a hyperbolic tangent type expression and is strictly increasing. Hence inverse exists on the given interval.
Therefore the inverse found is valid.
Final Answer: Option C
