with? \(\huge\color{blue}{WELCOME~TO~OPENSTUDY!!!}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

welcome what do you need help with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you! Um its math about inverse funtions :/ and im not understand how to do it

pooja195 (pooja195):

Post your question :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

post it i will try and help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

@Thefaceless

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why am I being summoned

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need your help :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what an inverse is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I believe so, I know how to do them and everything but the I got confused when it said f(x) = x+a divided by b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=\frac{x+a}{b}, g(x)=cx-d\] is this correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you understand that f(x)=-g(x) is the inverse, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm.. no :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so f(x) and g(x) is bassicaly y=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well what does inverse mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

opposite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example the inverse of multiplication is division.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so what is the opposite of f(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

g(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you informing wrong because in order to make g(x) inverse we do not turn it into negative f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=\frac{x+a}{b}, g(x)=cx-d\] so com[are the two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no that is not what inverses mean!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks everyone but I got it :D
