Find f-1 for the function f(x)=4x+2 math 3 question. 10 points. needed.

f^-1(x) = (x - 2)/4 ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise how to find the inverse function

- At first write the function as y = f(x)

- Then switch x and y

- Then solve for y

- The domain of f(x) will be the range of f^-1(x)

- The range of f(x) will be the domain of f^-1(x)

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = 4x + 2

∴ y = 4x + 2 ⇒ switch x and y

∴ x = 4y + 2 ⇒ subtract 2 from both sides

∴ x - 2 = 4y ⇒ ÷ 4 both sides

∴ (x - 2)/4 = y

∴ f^-1(x) = (x - 2)/4

* f^-1(x) = (x - 2)/4

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
