Can you help me graph these inverse functions?

Hey can you please help me with finding the inverse of these functions and a brief explanation for each:

y= x^2 (x> or equal to 0)

y= 2log(base 10) x

y= log (base 10) x-1

I need to submit each function and their inverse functions in one graph (three graphs for each function)

THANKSSSSS XXXXX

do you have any ides/thoughts on how to start?
 
yeh I've done the first one, but i have no idea for the last two. please helppp x
 
start with y(x) as given then rearrange for x in terms of y, x(y)

for the last two, you'll need to rasie everything to the power of e (or 10 depending on you definition of log)

Did you keep your old schoolbooks? Or look up any standard fairly elementary (high school) math book. Square roots certainly and logarithms usually are defined as inverse functions in the first place!

Plus, since you have to graph, you can graph the inverse functions without even needing to calculate them!
 
hey guys, I've completed these questions and done graphing thanks.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
