CHECK MY ANSWER! I got D

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

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.

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

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)

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

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.

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

so A is what im thinkg
