You have to find the inverse of f(x)

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

First, replace f(x) with y to make it easier to solve

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

Next, replace all x's with y's and all y's with x's

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

then solve for y

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

Ok here : first step: replace f(x) with y \[y= \frac{ 3x-1 }{ 2}\] 2nd step: Replace al x's with y and all y's with x\[x=\frac{ 3y-1 }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

Now solve for y: \[2 * x= \frac{ 3y-1 }{ 2 } *2\] multiply 2 to both sides, the twos cancel out that leaves you with \[2x=3y-1\] now add 1 to both sides \[2x+1=3y\] now divide 3 to both sides \[\frac{ 2x+1 }{ 3 }=y\]

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

Now replace y with \[f(x)^{-1}\]

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

and you're done :D
