Answer:
B.) f⁻¹(x) = (1/9)x - 7/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember, f(x) is another way of writing "y". The inverse can be found by swapping the positions if the "x" and "y" variables and then solving to isolate the "y" variable.
f(x) = 9x + 7 <----- Original function
y = 9x + 7 <----- Substitute f(x) for "y"
x = 9y + 7 <----- Swap variable positions
x - 7 = 9y <----- Subtract 7 from both sides
(x - 7) / 9 = y <----- Divide both sides by 9
(1/9)x - 7/9 = y <----- Divide each term individually by 9
The inverse function is represented by the symbol f⁻¹(x).
