Given f(x) = 4x + 2, find f-1(3).
1 answer:
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The inverse function tells you the input value that corresponds to the given output value of the function.
<h3>Application</h3>You want f^-1(3), which is the value of x such that f(x) = 3.
f(x) = 3 = 4x +2
1 = 4x . . . . . . subtract 2
1/4 = x . . . . . divide by 4
The inverse function of 3 is 1/4:

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Rearrange x - 2y = - 3 into this form
Subtract x from both sides
- 2y = - x - 3 ( divide all terms by - 2 )
y = x +
← in slope- intercept form
with m =
• Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 1, 2) into the partial equation
2 = - + c ⇒ c = 2 +
=
y = x +
← in slope- intercept form
Multiply through by 2
2y = x + 5 ( subtract 2y from both sides )
0 = x - 2y + 5 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
- 5 = x - 2y, thus
x - 2y = - 5 ← in standard form
