    Let \[f:[4,\infty )\to [1,\infty )\]be a function defined by \[f(x)={{5}^{x(x-4)}},\] then \[{{f}^{-1}}(x)\]is

    A) \[2-\sqrt{4+{{\log }_{5}}x}\]

    B) \[2+\sqrt{4+{{\log }_{5}}x}\]

    C) \[{{\left( \frac{1}{5} \right)}^{x(x-4)}}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Let \[y={{5}^{x(x-4)}}\Rightarrow x(x-4)=lo{{g}_{5}}y\] \[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-4x-{{\log }_{5}}y=0\] \[\Rightarrow x=\frac{4\pm \sqrt{16+4{{\log }_{5}}y}}{2}=(2\pm \sqrt{4+{{\log }_{5}}y})\] But \[x\ge 4,\] so \[x=(2+\sqrt{4+{{\log }_{5}}y})\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,{{f}^{-1}}(x)=2+\sqrt{4+{{\log }_{5}}x}\]
