Questions and Answers

What is the inverse function of $y = e^x$?

  • $x = e^y$ (correct)
  • $x = rac{1}{y}$
  • $y = rac{1}{x}$
  • $y = e^x$
  • What is the derivative of the function $y = e^x$?

  • $rac{dy}{dx} = e^x$ (correct)
  • $rac{dy}{dx} = rac{1}{x}$
  • $rac{dy}{dx} = 2e^x$
  • $rac{dy}{dx} = x^2$
  • How is the inverse function related to the original function?

  • It swaps $x$ and $y$ in the original equation (correct)
  • It adds $x$ and $y$ in the original equation
  • It multiplies $x$ and $y$ in the original equation
  • It subtracts $x$ from $y$ in the original equation

    Study Notes

    Inverse Function of y = e^x

    • The inverse function of y = e^x is y = ln(x), where ln is the natural logarithm

    Derivative of y = e^x

    • The derivative of y = e^x is y' = e^x, which means the function is its own derivative

    Relationship between Inverse and Original Function

    • The inverse function reverses the roles of x and y, i.e., if (a, b) is on the original function, then (b, a) is on the inverse function
    • The inverse function reflects the original function over the line y = x

    Derivative of Inverse Function

    • The derivative of the inverse function y = ln(x) is y' = 1/x

    Reciprocal Function

    • The reciprocal function of y = e^x is y = 1/e^x
    • The reciprocal function is not the same as the inverse function, although they are related
