@phi can you walk me through this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Part 1. Using the two functions listed below, insert numbers in place of the letters a, b, c, and d so that f(x) and g(x) are inverses. f(x)= x+a b g(x)=cx−d Part 2. Show your work to prove that the inverse of f(x) is g(x). Part 3. Show your work to evaluate g(f(x)). Part 4. Graph your two functions on a coordinate plane. Include a table of values for each function. Include 5 values for each function. Graph the line y = x on the same graph.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=\frac{ x+a }{ b }\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

u know how to find inverse??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No i don't someone tried to explain but I still don't understand they said switch x with y

OpenStudy (gorv):

okk thn follow

OpenStudy (gorv):

interchange x and f(x)

OpenStudy (gorv):

these are steps to find inverse ...so replace n tell what u got ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x=\frac{ f(x)+a }{ b }\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

step 2: now replace f(x) by f ^-1 (x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x=\frac{ f ^{-1}(x)+a }{ b }\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

for convenience let f^-1 (x) = y itzz not a step but just for convenience

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[x=\frac{ y+a }{ b }\]

OpenStudy (gorv):

now we need to take a & b from right side

OpenStudy (gorv):

multiply both side by b ...what u got ??

OpenStudy (gorv):

u there ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry froze up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[bx-a=y\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@gorv

OpenStudy (gorv):

that is our inverse

OpenStudy (gorv):

before we proceed tell me u got how to find inverse ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will we be using g(x)? noticed we didnt touch that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes change y with x or f(x) with x

OpenStudy (gorv):

so Q says f(x) and g(x) are inverse so find f inverse

OpenStudy (gorv):

so f inverse = g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok and to show that i solve for y for f(x)?

OpenStudy (gorv):

y is our inverse y=f^-1(x) replace y with it and show the steps in your notebook

OpenStudy (gorv):

now compare f inverse and g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x=\frac{ y+a }{ b }\] \[bx-a=y\] similar to the g(x) g(x)=cx-d

OpenStudy (gorv):

yeah and equate both inverse after that
