Inverse of the natural logarithms

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the inverse of the function F(x) = ln(1+e^x) and determining its domain and range. It is established that F is a strictly increasing function, which confirms that it has an inverse. The correct inverse is identified as ln(e^x - 1), with the domain being (0, ∞) and the range extending from negative to positive infinity. Participants clarify the relationship between the domain and range of the function and its inverse. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts in relation to logarithmic functions.

Hi Guys, i am new to this forums and my english is poor, but i will do my best.

I got stuck with this problem, i think it's quite easy, but i get the wrong answer :frown:

F(x) = ln(1+e^x)

1. Show that it has an inverse
2. What is the Range And the Domain of the inverse.

I really appreciate a good solution so i can learn from my mistakes.

1. Show that F is a strictly increasing function.
2. The domain of the inverse is the range of F and vice versa.
3. Welcome to PF!
 
so the inverse must be ln(e^x-1)?
 
Yeah, that seems right.
 
The domain must be then; ]0, infinity[ And the range]-1, Infinity[ or am i wrong?
 
Your domain is correct, but the range of the inverse is from negative to positive infinity.
 
of course, how stuiped of me :blushing: Thx for the help! :biggrin:
