What is inverse equations and a example?
A function that consists of its invrse fetches the original value f(y) = 2y + 3, and its inverse function is f-1(y) = (y - 3)/2.
An inverse function, in simple terms, is a function that serves to *undo* another function by switching the positions of 'x' and 'y' An inverse function is denoted as \(\large f^{-1}(x) \) An example would be as follow, say you have: \(y = 2x-10 \) To find the inverse, switch the variables and solve: \(\color{red}{y}=2\color{gold}{x}-10 \) becomes this: \(\color{gold}{x}=2\color{red}{y}-10 \) Now just solve for \(\color{red}{y}\) again: \[\large \color{gold}{x}(+10)=2\color{red}{y}-10(+10) \] Divide by 2: \[\large \frac{\color{gold}{x} +10}{2} = \frac{2\color{red}{y}}{2} \] And then you get the inverse equation: \[\large \frac{\color{gold}{x}}{2} +5 = \color{red}{y} \] Denoted as an inverse function: \[\large \color{red}{f^{-1}(x)} = \frac{\color{gold}{x}}{2} +5 \]

hmmm
Inverse equations involve operations that "undo" each other. For example, the inverse of addition is subtraction, and the inverse of multiplication is division. One example of an inverse equation is: Original equation: 2x + 3 = 11 Inverse operation: 2x = 11 - 3 Solving for x: x = (11 - 3) / 2 Answer: x = 4
