Question

The inverse of 5x+6 is (x-6)/5 right?

Answer 1

No - the inverse of 8 is 1/8

Answer 2

\[\text{ does } \frac{(5x+6)-6}{5} \text{ give you } x? \\ \text{ or } \\ 5(\frac{x-6}{5})+6 \text{ give you x}\]

Answer 3

So im guessing im not right

Answer 4

I'd say you are incorrect

Answer 5

@wolf1728 is thinking about multiplicative inverses

Answer 6

I know

Answer 7

and I think you mean the inverse of a function

Answer 8

Yes I am freckles

Answer 9

evaluate both of those expressions above

Answer 10

if you get x
you are right

Answer 11

if you don't get x, then it would be incorrect

Answer 12

I did:
y = 5x + 6
x = 5y + 6
x - 6 = 5y
(x - 6)/5 = y

Answer 13

your inverse is right
and you can verify it by pluggin the inverse into the orginial and the orginial into the inverse as I did above
and they should both evaluate to x

Answer 14

And the second option you gave is correct

Answer 15

Thanks for your help.

Answer 16

\[\text{ does } \frac{(5x+6)-6}{5} \text{ give you } x? \\ \text{ or } \\ 5(\frac{x-6}{5})+6 \text{ give you x} \\ \frac{(5x+6)-6}{5}=\frac{5x}{5}=x \\ 5(\frac{x-6}{5})+6=x-6+6=x\]
the verification process proved you were right

Answer 17

Oh! So like f(g(x)) and g(f(x)) with the inverse function and the function.

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

if f and g are inverses then f(g(x))=x and g(f(x))=x
