Let f(x) = 2x - 6 Solve f-1(x) when x = 2. -5 4 -2 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f-1(x) f-1(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply each term by -1 inside the ( )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the f-1(x) supposed to look like this? \[f ^{-1}(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply -1 by 2 f-1(2) multiply -1 by 2 and get -2 f-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is jb1515g

Then you have to find the inverse function first, then plug in x = 2. Set f(x) = y = 2x - 6. Solve for x, then swap x and y. That is your inverse function. Then, simply plug in your x into the new equation, and solve.

so it would b -2 then did i get that rt?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that's what I got when I did it.
