Answer

(a). $f^{-1}=y=\frac{\log x - \log (1-x)}{\log 2}$ (b). $D_\left({\frac{\log x - \log (1-x)}{\log 2}}\right)=\{x|x \in 0\lt x \lt 1\}=(0,1)$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=\frac{2^x}{1+2^x},$ (a). $y=\frac{2^x}{1+2^x},$ $x=\frac{2^y}{1+2^y},$ $x(1+2^y)=2^y,$ $x+x2^y=2^y,$ $x=2^y-x2^y,$ $x=2^y(1-x),$ $2^y=\frac{x}{1-x},$ $\log 2^y=\log (\frac{x}{1-x}),$ $y\log 2=\log x - \log (1-x),$ $f^{-1}=y=\frac{\log x - \log (1-x)}{\log 2}$ (b).Domain of $f^{-1}=y=\frac{\log x - \log (1-x)}{\log 2}$ is$,$ $D_{\log x}=\{x|x\gt 0\}$ and $D_{\log (1-x)}=\{x|(1-x) \gt0, x \lt 1\}$. Therefore, $D_\left({\frac{\log x - \log (1-x)}{\log 2}}\right)=\{x|x \in 0\lt x \lt 1\}=(0,1)$
