Answer: $\displaystyle f(x)^{-1}=x+12$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will rewrite the function in terms of y as in y = x - 12.

Second, we will swap the x and y values.

y = x - 12

x = y - 12

Third, we will solve for y. In other words, we will isolate the y variable and get it "by itself" on one side of the equal sign.

x = y - 12

x + 12 = y

y = x + 12

Lastly, we will change y back into terms of the function, but the inverse.

$\displaystyle f(x)^{-1}=x+12$

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent function has been shifted upward by 2 units, but there has been no horizontal scaling. Any horizontal offset must be equal to some number of whole periods.

Choices A and B show tan( )+2, the correct vertical offset. However, choice A has a horizontal scale factor of 2. The correct choice is B, which has no horizontal scaling (the coefficient of x is 1) and a horizontal offset of π, one full period.

Comment on horizontal scaling

Horizontal scaling is different from vertical scaling in that using k·x in place of x compresses the graph horizontally by a factor of k. On the other hand, using k·f(x) in place of f(x) expands the graph vertically by a factor of k.
