OpenStudy (jhannybean):

f(x) = 8x write it in terms of y. y = 8x Switch x and y x = 8y solve for y. y= x/8 rewrite it as f inverse. \[f^{-1}(x) = \cfrac{x}{8}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought it stays as y

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

it does stay as y, we switched around the x and y first and RESOLVED for y, and because we resolved for y,we found the inverse function.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Say f(x) = 8x f(1) = 8 \(f^{-1} (x) = \cfrac{x}{8}\) \(f^{-1}(1) = \cfrac{1}{8}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what does it come out to

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Read my first post...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x/8

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

You got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says it was suppose to be y/8

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Nope. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=inverse+f%28x%29+%3D+8x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well idk ugh

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

That answer would be wrong.

@divagirl when you find inverses you switch the x and y wherever they are. Its that simple!!!
