      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! f(x)=1+log5(x+3) a)the domain of f: (-3,∞)
 ..
 b)graph f
 I don't have the means to graph it, but I can try to show you how to do it.
 Start with the basic log5(x) basic curve which has an asymptote at x=0 or the y-axis and an
 x-intercept at(1,0). Then move this curve 3 units left, placing the asymptote and x-intercept at
 x=-3 and (-2,0), respectively. Lastly, bump the curve up one unit.
 ..
 c) from the graph, determine the range and any asymptotes of f. Range: (-∞,∞); asymptote:x=-3
 ..
 d)find f^-1, the inverse of f
 y=1+log5(x+3)
 interchange x and y, then solve for y
 x=1+log5(y+3)
 x-1=log5(y+3)
 5^(x+1))=y+3
 f^-1=5^(x+1)-3
 ..
 e)find the domain and range of f^-1: Range:(-3,∞); Domain:(-∞,∞)
 ..
 f)graph f^-1
 curve has a horizontal asymptote at y=-3 and a y-intercept at (0,2)
