were you able to get anywhere?

absolutely not.... I am riding the struggle bus my friend.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

f(x) is some function where 

you plug in x = 2 and you get y = 6 out

this is because we have f(2) = 6

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

the inverse simply takes the output and brings you back to the input

it's like a time machine to go back in time

if you know the result (6), then you can use the inverse function to get the original input (2)

does that make sense?

anonymous · Answer

not really... sorry. I just don't understand how to plug it all in and work through it.
