If ƒ(x ) = 2x, then ƒ ^-1(x ) = ? -2x 1/2x or x-2

Ooo your f is fancy, it has a tail :D

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Your function is this variable x being `multiplied by` 2. So your inverse will simply be the variable x `divided by` 2.

If you prefer, you can be a little more mechanical about it,\[\large\rm f(x)=2x\]\[\large\rm y=2x\]Switch your y and x,\[\large\rm x=2y\]Solve for y, dividing by 2,\[\large\rm \frac12x=y\]
