The inverse of this function is f(x) = 2x - 12.

You can find the inverse of any function by switching the f(x) and x values in the equation. Then you can solve for the new f(x) value. The result is your inverse function. The work for this one is below.

f(x) = 1/2x + 6 ----> switch f(x) and x

x = 1/2f(x) + 6 ----> subtract 6

x - 6 = 1/2f(x) ----> multiply by 2

2x - 12 = f(x) ----> change the order for consistency.

f(x) = 2x - 12

The function can use all values of x which means x is in between -inf and +inf. The first option expresses this.

We have two points describing the diameter of a circumference, these are:

$\begin{gathered} A=(-12,-4) \\ B=(-4,-10) \end{gathered}$

Recall that the equation for the standard form of a circle is:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Where (h,k) is the coordinate of the center of the circle, to find this coordinate, we find the midpoint of the diameter, that is, the midpoint between points A and B.

For this we use the following equation:

$M=(\frac{x_1+x_2_{}_{}}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Now, we replace and solve:

$\begin{gathered} M=(\frac{-12+(-4)}{2},\frac{-4+(-10)}{2} \\ M=(\frac{-12-4}{2},\frac{-4-10}{2}) \\ M=(\frac{-16}{2},\frac{-14}{2}) \\ M=(-8,-7) \end{gathered}$

The center of the circle is (-8,-7), so:

$\begin{gathered} h=-8 \\ k=-7 \end{gathered}$

On the other hand, we must find the radius of the circle, remember that the radius of a circle goes from the center of the circumference to a point on its arc, for this we use the following equation:

$r^2=\Delta x^2+\Delta y^2$

In this case, we will solve the delta with the center coordinate and the B coordinate.

$\begin{gathered} r^2=((-4)-(-8))^2+((-10)-(-7)) \\ r^2=(-4+8)^2+(-10+7)^2 \\ r^2=4^2+(-3)^2 \\ r^2=16+9 \\ r^2=25 \\ r=5 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the equation for the standard form of a circle is:

$\begin{gathered} (x-(-8))^2+(y-(-7))^2=25 \\ (x+8)^2+(y+7)^2=25 \end{gathered}$

In conclusion, the equation is the following:

$(x+8)^2+(y+7)^2=25$
