inverses

OpenStudy (yaryar08):

OpenStudy (reemii):

The function \(F\) "sends" an \(x\) on a \(y\). To find the inverse means that you want to find how to send the \(y\) back to its corresponding \(x\). It only requires you to write \(y = \frac{2x}{7}+4\) and solve for \(x\). You will obtain an expression like \(x=h(y)\). That's what you are looking for. "which \(x\) given this \(y\)". The beggining is: \(y = \frac{2x}7 + 4 \iff y-4 = \frac{2x}7\iff \dotsb\) Two steps left.

OpenStudy (yaryar08):

would we multiply 7?

OpenStudy (yaryar08):

@reemii

OpenStudy (reemii):

Yes

OpenStudy (reemii):

\(7(y-4) = 2x\) is where you are now.

OpenStudy (yaryar08):

7y-28=2x?

OpenStudy (reemii):

That's correct but you don't need to do that, the expressions in the options don't look like that, they all look like \(2(\dotsb)/7\) or \(7(\dotsb)/2\). Just get the "2" on the other side and you will be done.

OpenStudy (yaryar08):

ohhh so its A? @reemii

OpenStudy (reemii):

Yes. the expression you find is in the variable \(y\) but that's not important. The expression could be in any variable. \(\frac{7(\star - 4)}{2}\).

thank you so much! ☺
