#f^-1(x)=log_e(x+1)#

Explanation:

Firstly, I'll assume you know that if #f(x)=y# then #f^-1(y)=x#

So now, #f(x)=e^x-1#
Rearranging the equation, and taking #y=f(x)# we get #y+1=e^x#
Applying log of base #e# on both sides #log_e(y+1)=x#
Now, given above that #f^-1(y)=x#
So this means, #f^-1(y)=log_e(y+1)#

Replacing #y# as #x# you'll get the answer.
