Question

The inverse of the function $y=\frac{10^{x}-10^{-x}}{10^{x}+10^{-x}}$ is

• A. $log_{10}(2 -x)$
• B. $\frac{1}{2}log_{10}\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right)$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}log_{10}\left(2x-1\right)$
• D. $\frac{1}{4}log\left(\frac{2x}{2-x}\right)$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Since, $y=\frac{10^{2x}-1}{10^{2x}+1}$
$\Rightarrow y10^{2x}+y = 10^{2x}-1$
$\Rightarrow 10^{2x}=\frac{1+y}{1-y}$
$\therefore 2x\,log_{10}\,10=log_{10}\, \frac{1+y}{1-y}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2} log_{10}\left(\frac{1+y}{1-y}\right) \left(\because log_{a}\,a=1\right)$
Hence, the inverse of $y$ is $\frac{1}{2}log_{10}\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right)$.
