Replace g(x) by y Interchange x and y Solve for y Add 1 to both sides Use the definition of a logarithm: Add 5 to both sides: Replace y by g-1(x) The red graph is of g(x), the blue graph is of g-1(x). The green lines are the asymptotes. The asymptote for g(x) has equation x=5. The asymptote for g-1(x) has equation y=5. The faint blue dotted line is the graph of the identity function y=x. The graph of the inverse of any function is the reflection of its graph across this identity line y=x. Edwin
