    If the function \[f:\left[ 1,\infty  \right)\to \left[ 1,\infty  \right)\] is defined by \[f(x)={{2}^{x(x-1)}},\] then \[{{f}^{-1}}(x)\] is

    A) \[{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{x(x-1)}}\]                 

    B) \[\frac{1}{2}\left( 1+\sqrt{1+4{{\log }_{2}}x} \right)\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{2}\left( 1-\sqrt{1+4{{\log }_{2}}x} \right)\]        

    D) Not defined

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let \[y={{2}^{x\,(x-1)}}\] where \[y\ge 1\] as \[x\ge 1\]
    Taking \[{{\log }_{2}}\] of both side, \[{{\log }_{2}}y={{\log }_{2}}\,{{2}^{x\,(x-1)}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,{{\log }_{2}}y=x\,\left( x-1 \right)\]             \[\left( \because \,\,{{\log }_{e}}{{a}^{x}}=x \right)\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,{{x}^{2}}-x-{{\log }_{2}}y=0\Rightarrow x=\frac{1\pm \sqrt{1+4{{\log }_{2}}y}}{2}\]
    For \[y\ge 1,\,{{\log }_{2}}y\ge 0\Rightarrow \,4{{\log }_{2}}y\ge 0\Rightarrow 1+4{{\log }_{2}}y\ge 1\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\sqrt{1+4{{\log }_{2}}y}\ge 1\Rightarrow -\sqrt{1+4{{\log }_{2}}y}\le -1\]
    But \[x\ge 1\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,x=1-\sqrt{1+4{{\log }_{2}}y}\] is not possible
    Therefore \[x=\frac{1}{2}\,(1+\sqrt{1+4{{\log }_{2}}y)}\]
