What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x + 1?

Mathematics

Answer: The inverse of the linear function f(x)=2x+1 is f^(-1) (x) = (1/2)x-1/2


Solution

f(x)=2x+1

y=f(x)

y=2x+1

Isolating x: Subtracting 1 both sides of the equation:

y-1=2x+1-1

y-1=2x

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 1/2:

(1/2)(y-1)=(1/2)2x

(1/2)y-1/2=x

x=(1/2)y-1/2

Changing "x" by "f^(-1) (x)" and "y" by "x":

f^(-1) (x) = (1/2)x-1/2

Explain why graphing the solutions of an inequality is more efficient than listing all the solutions of the inequality.
Nadya [2.5K]
The saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" comes to mind here. You can list all of the possible points in a solution region, or you can list a few points to give the general pattern. Though this method requires a bit more work than simply graphing and showing the solution shaded region. A visual is often more efficient at conveying a message especially to those who aren't proficient with algebra. I'm sure there are other reasons why graphs are the better choice, but that's all I could think of really.
