Answer

a) $D=\{x|x \in (1,\infty)\}$. b) $10^{2^x}=y=f^{-1}(x)$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $f(x)=\log_{2}({\log_{10}x})$. a) To find the domain of $f(x)$. for $\{x|(\log_{10}x) \gt 0\}=\{x|x\gt 10^0\} =\{x|x\gt1\}=(1,\infty)$. b) The Inverse of $f(x),$ $f^{-1}(x)$ is. $y=\log_{2}(\log_{10}x),$ $x=\log_2(\log_{10}y),$ $2^x=\log_{10} y,$ $10^{2^x}=y=f^{-1}(x)$
