Answer

$f^{-1}(x)=\frac{log(log(x))-log(log2)}{log3}$ domain{$x|x\gt1$} range {$y|y\in R$}

Work Step by Step

1. Given $y=f(x)=2^{3^x}$, take logarithm on both sides, we have $log(y)=3^xlog2$, take logarithm again, we obtain: $log(log(y))=log(3^xlog2)=xlog3+log(log2)$ Thus, $x=\frac{log(log(y)-log(log2)}{log3}$, switch $x,y$, we get the inverse function as $f^{-1}(x)=\frac{log(log(x))-log(log2)}{log3}$ 2. To determine the domain, let $log(x)\gt0$, we get $x\gt1$ which is {$x|x\gt1$} The range would be {$y|y\in R$}
