find the inverse of the function (in comments)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[g(x)= \frac{ 4 }{ x+1 }+2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve for x x=(6-g)/(g-2) that is inv of g(x)=6-x/x-2 asxis only a dummy variable to define the expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

interchage x and y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay and then i subrtacted 2 from each side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=\frac{ 4 }{ x+1 }+2\] \[x=\frac{ 4 }{ y+1 }+2\] then solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x-2=\frac{ 4 }{ y+1 }\] \[y=\frac{ 4 }{ x-2}-1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so far i got \[y+1=\frac{ 4 }{ x+2 }\] but i know it can be simplified more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*x-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just subtract 1 both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whenever you have to solve for an inverse function or to check the function is onto solve for the basic variable hence i solved and got the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so final answer is \[y=\frac{ 4 }{ x-2 }-1\] @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide the answer 6-x by x-2 you will get -1 as quottient and 4 as remainder which gives -1+4/(x-2).the same asKatylon
