Question 709500: I'm trying to solve the following:
f(x)= 1 devided by
(3x+1)^5
How is this solved? does it have a special name,I mean the type of problem?
Id like to search for more to practice. thanx
Answer by josgarithmetic(39615)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are saying this:
f(x)= 1 devided by
(3x+1)^5
If you try to solve for x when f(x)=1, then you will have your answer.
f(x)=(3x+1)^5=1
What kind of number raised to any nonzero, non-one power give 1 as a result?
b^5=1, what must be b?
1^5=1, 1^-5=1, 1^30=1.....
If (3x+1)^5=1, then 3x+1=1. 
ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN:
The question seems to be, for f(x)=(3x+1)^5, what is x if  . Solve for x.
Take the root 5 of both sides,
Now subtract 1 from both sides,
So what is x?
