Functions (XII)

Question

If the function $f : [1, \infty) \to [1, \infty)$ is defined by $f (x) = 2^{x (x - 1)}$ then $f^{- 1} (x)$ is

Moderate

A

${(\frac{1}{2})}^{x (x - 1)}$
B

$\frac{1}{2} (1 + \sqrt{1 + 4 \log_{2} x})$
C

$\frac{1}{2} (1 - \sqrt{1 + 4 \log_{2} x})$
D

not defined

Solution

$\begin{array}{l} y = 2^{x (x - 1)} or x^{2} - x - \log_{2} y = 0 \\ or x = \frac{1}{2} (1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 4 \log_{2} y}) \\ since x \in [1, \infty), we choose x = \frac{1}{2} (1 + \sqrt{1 + 4 \log_{2} y}) \\ or f^{- 1} (x) = \frac{1}{2} (1 + \sqrt{1 + 4 \log_{2} x}) . \end{array}$
