It A or D I think
OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):
not positive though
OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):
How are you getting either of those?
OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):
well i did this : I subed in 1 into X and -1 into Y
OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):
That is not how we find inverses.

ok can you tell me how then. thanks
OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):
f(x) = ax + b
What is the inverse of this?
OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):
Try.
Let a and b be constants.
OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):
|dw:1429541484831:dw|
OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):
so like this (x-1)

Steps to find inverse of any function f(x):
1) Write x in terms of f(x).
2) Switch all f(x) with x and all x with f(x).
3) The new f(x) is the inverse of the original function.
Example:
f(x) = ax + b
1) Write x in terms of f(x).
\(x = \frac{f(x) - b}{a}\)
2) Switch all f(x) with x and all x with f(x).
\(f(x) = \frac{x - b}{a}\)
3) The new f(x) is the inverse of the original function.
\(f(x) = \frac{x - b}{a}\) is the new inverse.
