quick question...how should an inverse be written? y = or x = ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

itdepends if the equation starts are y= then teh invesre is x=

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it starts with y =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so inverse should have x=

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but they solve for y. for example.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=2x+4 switch teh variable x=2y+4 then solve for y subtract 4 x-4=2y divide by 2 \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x-2 =y\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the inverse

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i thought you said it should be x =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at first

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

oh but you swap to y= later on...that was what i was asking....
