Verified Answer :

\(f\left( x \right) =\log _{ 2 }{ \left( x+4 \right) } \\ \\ \log _{ 2 }{ \left( x+4 \right) } =y\\ \\ { 2 }^{ y }=x+4\)

\(\\ \\ x={ 2 }^{ y }-4\\ \\ \therefore \quad { f }^{ -1 }\left( x \right) ={ 2 }^{ x }-4\\ \\ \therefore \quad { f }^{ -1 }\left( 3 \right) ={ 2 }^{ 3 }-4=4\)

The value of f^-1(3) is 4

What are inverse functions?

The inverse of a function f(x) is the opposite of the function

How to determine the inverse function?

The function f(x) is given as:

\(f(x) = log_2(x + 4)\)

Express f(x) as y

\(y = log_2(x + 4)\)

Swap the positions of x and y

\(x = log_2(y + 4)\)

Express as exponents

\(2^x = y + 4\)

Make y the subject

\(y = 2^x - 4\)

Express the equations as an inverse function

\(f^{-1}(x) = 2^x - 4\)

Substitute 3 for x in the above equation

\(f^{-1}(3) = 2^3 - 4\)

Evaluate

\(f^{-1}(3) = 4\)

Hence, the value of f^-1(3) is 4
