Answer 1

Sure :)
Can u inverse 6 ?

Answer 2

@hkmiu :Please answer to my questions I want to u learn step by step :)

Answer 3

huh?

Answer 4

Oh sorry, I was doing my other math problems!

Answer 5

what do you mean by inverse 6?

Answer 6

No problem :)
inverse 6 ...
It s an example to start :)

Answer 7

1/6?

Answer 8

yep !
Thank u Modom :)
Now1/ x ...

Answer 9

huh?

Answer 10

inverse of 1/x ???????

Answer 11

x/1 ??????????? idk ? >.<

Answer 12

yep !
Why u think dont know u was ritht :)
and now -3x ?

Answer 13

huh ?
dont afreid and answer Modom :)

Answer 14

1/-3x?

Answer 15

Thank u Modom :)
and now :
5 ?

Answer 16

1/5

Answer 17

thank u again :)
and now :
y ?

Answer 18

1/y ????

Answer 19

yep !
Now come back to your question !
You answered to your self :)

Answer 20

Wait how?!

Answer 21

We had :y = -3x+5
u find the inverse of y ...
Then 5
than -3x
Just it :D

Answer 22

Got it ?:)

Answer 23

inverse of y ? u said 1/y
inverse of 5? u said 1/5
inverse of -3x ?u said 1/-3x
and just it and end the answer we have
inverse of y = -3x+5___>1/y=1/-3x+1/5
Understoond ?:)

Answer 24

That's not one of the answer my teacher gave me!

Answer 25

:O

Answer 26

u can answer this from all the users :D

Answer 27

u st ill need help

Answer 28

Yess ;(

Answer 29

hey fan me and ill do the same.. ill help tho

Answer 30

Is it
(5 - x)/3?

Answer 31

Nope, define what an "inverse" is first please?

Answer 32

The question asks you to find the inverse, so you should first have a clear idea of what you are looking for, right?

Answer 33

I might.

Answer 34

I tried working the problem with the same step as my teacher's video but it doesnt seems right

Answer 35

Start with the definition.

Answer 36

opposite in direction

Answer 37

So, how does that relate to this question?

Answer 38

find the opposite of this equation

Answer 39

What would that mean?

Answer 40

......i don't know........

Answer 41

With this equation if someone gave us values of x we could output values of y, right?

Answer 42

Yeah, switch the x and y

Answer 43

\[x = -3y + 5\]

Answer 44

Why did you do that?

Answer 45

beauseee thats the first step to finding the inverse of a linear function ... at least thats what the teacher told me and all the yt videos told me...

Answer 46

OK, now what do you do?

Answer 47

ummm, subtract both sides by 5

Answer 48

\[x-5=-3y\]

Answer 49

OK, now...???

Answer 50

divide bot sides by -3
\[\left( x-5 \right)/-3 = y\]

Answer 51

Is that the answer your teacher gave?

Answer 52

nope....

Answer 53

ok i see that skullpatrol.. is doing a fine job.. so ll scoot ;-)!

Answer 54

Try just working with y = -3x + 5 and solve it for x =?

Answer 55

-3x+8 would be (8-x)/3 right??

Answer 56

wait no the signs are wrong.

Answer 57

Nope work with y = -3x + 5 and solve it for x =?

Answer 58

(x-8)/-3?

Answer 59

uhhhh

Answer 60

work with y = -3x + 5 and solve it for x =?

Answer 61

(y-5)/-3

Answer 62

What happened to "x"?

Answer 63

it just flip flopped.

Answer 64

well x = (y-5)/-3

Answer 65

$$\huge x=\huge -\frac{y-5}{3}$$

Answer 66

That^ is the inverse.

Answer 67

Sooo the equation y= -3x+8 would be
(x-8)/-3?

Answer 68

Is that the answer your teacher gives?

Answer 69

This one is a free response so i wouldnt know ><

Answer 70

waittt why would it be x = (y-5)/3 ?? why isnt the 3 negative
