Inverse of f(x)f(x), f^(-1)(x)=logxf1(x)=logx, which is a logarithmic function.

Explanation:

Consider y=f(x)y=f(x) and then find x=g(y)x=g(y), then g(x)g(x) is the inverse function of f(x)f(x), which is written as g(x)=f^(-1)(x)g(x)=f1(x).

Here y=f(x)=10^xy=f(x)=10x, then x=logyx=logy

and hence inverse of f(x)f(x), f^(-1)(x)=logxf1(x)=logx, which is a logarithmic function.
