Can someone help me find the inverse of this function Let f(x)=x^2-10x+7. Find f(-2).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(-2)= (-2)^2-10(-2)+7 f(-2)= 31

You can find the inverse of a quadratic function by completing its square. Are you familiar with the method of completing the square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes i known how to do that method but im not aloud to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plug in x for y and then solve for y to find the inverse. Then plug in -2 for x.

Miracrown (miracrown):

you're correct! @Brittany122824

Miracrown (miracrown):

f(-2)= (-2)^2-10(-2)+7 f(-2)= 31 You need to find the inverse function, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i did that part but it once the inverse method and i dont no how to do it

Miracrown (miracrown):

OK, I do it this way: Change every x and y and then isolate y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me how

Miracrown (miracrown):

|dw:1400385564214:dw| And then you isolate y :)
