If memory serves me correctly: $" "y=e^(x-18)$
I would recommend you check this against another source!

Given that $f(x)=ln(x) + 18$

Write as $y=ln(x)+18$

Then $ln(x)=y-18$

Consider another way of writing $ln(x)$

This is in fact $e^("something") = x$

In this case $"something" = y-18$ giving:

$x=e^(y-18)$

Now all you have to do is exchange the letters $" "x " and " y$ giving:

$y=e^(x-18)$

How do you find the inverse function f(x) = 18 + ln(x)f(x) = 18 + ln(x)?
