F(x) = 2x - 6

y = 2x - 6

Switching y and x and solving for y;

x = 2y - 6

2y = x + 6

y = \frac{x+6}{2}

Hence,

f^{-1} = \frac{x+6}{2}

Hi!

Okay, so -

We are going to replace f(x) with the variable y.

So, f(x) = 2x - 6 is now equal to y = 2x - 6.

Now, we are going to swap the variables. Where we once had x, we will now have y. And where we once had y, we will now have x.

So y = 2x - 6 is now equal to x = 2y - 6.

Now, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. We must do this by getting rid of the -6, and the 2 multiplied by the variable y.

We get rid of these values by doing the inverse of their operation. Since 6 is negative, we will add it to itself in order for it to cancel out. But, when we do something on one side of the equation - we must do it on the other.

So, we will add 6 on both sides.

x + 6 = 2y - 6 + 6.

x + 6 = 2y.

Okay, now - we cannot add x to 6, because they are unlike terms. So, what we do next <span>instead is divide both sides by 2. Remember, we're doing the inverse of the operation. The inverse of multiplication is division, so we will divide both sides by 2.

</span>\frac{x + 6}{2} = 2y / 2.

\frac{x + 6}{2} = y.

Now, we change the y into f^{-1}(x), and we have our inverse.

f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x + 6}{2}.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

Answer:

Numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two number (p/q form) are termed as a rational number. ... Both the numerator and denominator are whole numbers, in which the denominator is not equal to zero. Irrational numbers cannot be written in fractional form.

What is an equation for the linear function whose graph contains the points (−1, −2) and (3, 10) ? Enter your answers in the box
RideAnS [48]

There are two ways to equate a straight line. We first have y=mx+b. Then, we have (y-y₁)=m(x-x₁). Both work fine and have similar variables, but the numbers are mixed around a bit. Your equation clearly shows the second form of equation. As our equation has x-x₁ on the right, we can notice that x+1 must mimic that, so x+1=(x-x₁). As x-(-1)=x+1, we can only assume that x is -1. Looking at the points given to us, y must be -2, so we have y-(-2)=y+2, so 2 fills in the leftmost open box. To find the slope, or m, we must take

\frac{(y_{1} -y_{2})}{(x_{1} -x_{2})} from points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂). It doesn't matter which point is (x₁, y₁) , but it matters that the y₁ corresponds to the x₁. Thus, we have our slope as \frac{-2-10}{-1-3} =\frac{-12}{-4} =3


Feel free to ask further questions, and Happy Halloween!
