If F(x)= 4x-3, what is f(x)^-1?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

\[F(x)=4x-3\] Let's put \[x= f^{-1} (x)\] \[F(f^{-1} (x))= 4 f^{-1} (x)-3\] do you get this part? @Saralynnjane

OpenStudy (ash2326):

\[f^{-1} (x)= \text{inverse of function f(x)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Kinda. I got confused bc of the negitive

OpenStudy (ash2326):

you mean the - power of f(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (ash2326):

it's just a representation of inverse of function f(x)

OpenStudy (ash2326):

remember it's not equal to \({f(x)}^{-1}\) \[f^{-1} (x)\ne \frac{1}{f(x)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then how do i get the answer from there?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

ok, let's work on that

OpenStudy (ash2326):

have you studied inverse functions before?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A long time ago yes

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Ok, so inverse function, the name says it all it inverses Suppose I have \[y=x\] I put x=1, we get y=1 Now if we were given y=1 and we had to find the value of x which will give y=1, can you tell that value of x?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Do you get my question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry my teacher saw me my phone
