Find the inverse function of f. f(x) = 2x + 7 f^-1(x) = Find the inverse function of f. f(x) = 5 - 4x f^-1(x) = Find the inverse function of f. f(x) = x/x + 5 f^-1(x) = Find the inverse function of f. f(x) = 4 -= x^2, x greaterthanorequalto 0 f^-1(x) =, x lessthanorequalto 4
Solution
f(x) = 2x + 7
y = 2x + 7
switching x and y
x = 2y + 7
solving the equation for y
(x - 7 ) / 2 = y
f^-1(x) = (x - 7 ) / 2
2) f(x) = 5 - 4x
y = 5 - 4x
switching x and y
x = 5 - 4y
solving for y
y = ( 5 - x ) / 4
f^-1 (x) = ( 5 - x ) / 4
3) f(x) = x / ( x+ 5 )
y = x / (x+5)
switching x and y
x = y / (y+5)
multiplying both sides by (y+5)
x ( y+5 ) = y
xy + 5x = y
5x = y ( 1 - x)
y = 5x / ( 1- x )
f^-1 (x) = 5x / ( 1- x)
