Answer

$f^{-1}(x)=(x-1)^{5}+2$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=1+\sqrt[5]{x-2}$ Substitute $f(x)$ by $y$: $y=1+\sqrt[5]{x-2}$ Solve for $x$: $y-1=\sqrt[5]{x-2}$ $\sqrt[5]{x-2}=y-1$ $x-2=(y-1)^{5}$ $x=(y-1)^{5}+2$ Interchange $x$ and $y$: $y=(x-1)^{5}+2$ Substitute $y$ by $f^{-1}(x)$: $f^{-1}(x)=(x-1)^{5}+2$
