Solution Steps

To find the inverse of the function \( x = e^y \), we need to express \( y \) in terms of \( x \). This involves taking the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation to solve for \( y \).

Step 1: Express \( y \) in terms of \( x \)

Given the equation \( x = e^y \), we want to find the inverse function by expressing \( y \) in terms of \( x \). To do this, we take the natural logarithm of both sides:

\[ \ln(x) = \ln(e^y) \]

Step 2: Simplify the Equation

Using the property of logarithms that \( \ln(e^y) = y \), we simplify the equation:

\[ y = \ln(x) \]

Final Answer

The inverse of the function \( x = e^y \) is:

\[ \boxed{y = \ln(x)} \]
