Find the inverse of the function. f(x) = 7x + 2

Nnesha (nnesha):

f(x) is same as y so you can write that equation as \[\huge\rm \color{blue}{y}=7\color{ReD}{x}+2\] now to find inverse switch y and x \[\huge\rm \color{blue}{x}=7\color{ReD}{y}+2\] solve for y^

Nnesha (nnesha):

can you solve x =7y +2 for y ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it a one to one function?

Nnesha (nnesha):

did you solve that equation for y what did you get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

To find the inverse: Replace f(x) with y Switch x's and y's, so put x where y is and x where y is. Solve for y Replace y with f^-1(x)

Nnesha (nnesha):

` so put x where y is and x where y is` so put x where y is and y where x is

Nnesha (nnesha):

x=7y+2 do you know how to solve that equation for y ?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Lol nice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooooooh so it would be f-1(x) =x-2/7

Nnesha (nnesha):

can you please tell me how u got that ? @zoeg :=)

Nnesha (nnesha):

oh well nvm i've to go if you mean (x-2)/7 then yes that's right.
