Please Help, for each function interchange x and y then solve for y to determine the inverse. I know you have to switch but i can't do the exact algebra.
A) y=2-1/2x

anonymous · Answer

subtract 2 from both sides and multiply by 2.  assuming it's
$$y=2-\frac{ x }{ 2 }$$

anonymous · Answer

multiply by -2    not 2

anonymous · Answer

Okay but would it not be x-2=-1/2x. Now i don't know how to get rid of that -1/2x

anonymous · Answer

is your function the line I showed?

anonymous · Answer

or this
$$y=2-\frac{ 1 }{ 2x }$$

anonymous · Answer

the second one but the x is on the outside not with the 2

anonymous · Answer

is the x in the denominator or not

anonymous · Answer

no it is not

anonymous · Answer
