Replace f(x) with y. Then solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Replace \(f(x)\) with \(y\), like this: \(y = \frac{3x - 2}{6}\). Then solve for \(x\).

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(f(x) = \dfrac{3x - 2}{6} \) \(y = \dfrac{3x - 2}{6} \) Now, do you know how to solve this equation for x?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

First, multiply both sides by 6. Then, add 2 to both sides. Finally, divide both sides by 3. What do you get for x?

@mathstudent55 i got 7/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathstudent55 do you think its right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Anickyan can you check my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@romanortiz65, I got this: \[f⁻¹(y) = \frac{6y + 2}{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try doing it on paper.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Anickyan can you check my answer

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

This is how you do it following the steps I listed above: \(y = \dfrac{3x - 2}{6} \) First, multiply both sides by 6. \(6y = 3x - 2 \) Then, add 2 to both sides. \(6y + 2 = 3x \) Finally, divide both sides by 3. \(2y + \dfrac{2}{3} = x \) \(x = 2y + \dfrac{2}{3} \) \(f^{-1}(y) = 2y + \dfrac{2}{3} \)
