Question 702849
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Start over.  Your first step is incorrect.  You have to solve for *[tex \LARGE x] in terms of *[tex \LARGE y] and only THEN do you swap the variables.


The problem is, no matter what you do, you end up with a logarithm argument that is less than zero.  Since the domain of the log function is the positive reals, this dog won't hunt.


The inverse function is undefined, hence the original function is not invertible.
