Find a formula for the inverse if it exists. f^-1(x)= ????? Help!

OpenStudy (loser66):

have to have the form of f(x) first, and then from that find out the f^(-1) if it exists. So, what is f(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here is the the entire question, f(x)=8x-6 now it wants me to find the formula for the inverse f-^1(x)=

OpenStudy (loser66):

want to know how to get or just answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Both I'm lost and taking a test which I have to pass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would love it if you showed me how you got the answer that would help with the rest of the questions

OpenStudy (loser66):

so, do what I suggest, ok? replace f(x) =y what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand. I'm so lost and MAT 150 has thrown me for a huge loop

OpenStudy (loser66):

where you see f(x) take it out and write y there at the original one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so y=8x-6

OpenStudy (loser66):

good, now from y = 8x -6 switch the place of x and y, remember "SWITCH"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=8y-6?

OpenStudy (loser66):

yes, now plus 6 both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6x=8y?

OpenStudy (loser66):

nope, + (plus) not * (time), redo, please

OpenStudy (loser66):

"a plus b" is "a + b"

OpenStudy (loser66):

don't get what I mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not really.
