Do you know how to find inverse functions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im really lost and my teachers on vacation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm.. well, the gist is to swap the roles of x and y (or x and f(x) in this case)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f^{-1}(3)=x \space when \space f(x)=3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3=log_2(x+4)\leftarrow\rightarrow 2^3=x+4.\] Understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thank you so much!
