OpenStudy (amorfide):

inverse of a function let f(x)=ax+b let y=f(x) y=ax+b you want to rearrange for x y=ax+b y-b=ax (y-b)/a=x now you will swap the variable (x-b)/a=y and now you will let y=f^-1(x) (x-b)/a=f^-1(x) can you use these steps to solve your question

very nice work @amorfide - really understandably GREAT !!!

OpenStudy (amorfide):

the idea is to make it equal to x so if i had f(x)=4x+9 to get to x I would subtract 9 from a variable then divide that answer by 4 so the inverse would be f^-1(x)=(x-9)/4

OpenStudy (amorfide):

so you can use the same logic for your question

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ana please try using what ve wrote above @amorfide

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

here is the site where you can leaning again easy the steps

OpenStudy (ana_98):

\[y=5x-10 \] \[y-10=5x\] \[(y-10)/5=x\] \[(x-10)/5=4\] (x-10/5=f^2 ( ) <<< dont know what to do from here or if i even got this right

@jhonyy9

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

why -10 when the function is f(x) = 5x-10 so y = 5x-10 so the first step will be y+10 = 5x yes ?

OpenStudy (ana_98):

ok

OpenStudy (ana_98):

i got 1.4

OpenStudy (ana_98):

c

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

step by step please

OpenStudy (ana_98):

have no time

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

y+10 ----- = ? 5

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes you are right with 1,4 bc. will be (-3+10)/5 = 7/5 = 1,4

OpenStudy (ana_98):

thanks

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yw. was my pleasure good luck bye bye
