SOLUTION: I'm having problems with a question it is find the inverse of f(x)=e^(x-5)-5 I have taken y and substituted for x to get x=e^(y-5)-5 then 5+x= e^(y-5) I'm not sure if I'm

Question 643521: I'm having problems with a question
it is find the inverse of f(x)=e^(x-5)-5
I have taken y and substituted for x to get
x=e^(y-5)-5 then
5+x= e^(y-5)
I'm not sure if I'm doing this right and where to go from here

You're on the right track. Keep going to solve for y.

So the inverse function is $f^{-1}(x) = \ln(x+5)+5$
