Given the function f(x) = 3(x+2) - 4, solve for the inverse function when x = 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first you distribute 3 on (x+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then set f(x)=y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it will be like....?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x+6 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oopss.. sorry late response.. you are right, then the function will be like this: \[f(x)=3x+6-4\] simplify it \[f(x)=3x+2\] then set f(x)=y\[y=3x+2\] then switch x and y\[x=3x+2\] change it in terms of y..

@Eternallyfamous

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then it's y=3x+ 2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Data_LG2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my bad! last equation should be \[x=3y+2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y =3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope.. rearrange the equation in terms of y..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no y = 2
