Answer:

$f^{-1}$ (x) = $\frac{5-x}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y = f(x) and rearrange making x the subject

y = 5 - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )

2x + y = 5 ( subtract y from both sides )

2x = 5 - y ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = $\frac{5-y}{2}$

Change y back into terms of x

$f^{-1}$ (x) = $\frac{5-x}{2}$

——————————

Solve the trigonometric equation:

$\mathsf{\sqrt{2\,tan\,x\,cos\,x}-tan\,x=0}\\\\ \mathsf{\sqrt{2\cdot \dfrac{sin\,x}{cos\,x}\cdot cos\,x}-tan\,x=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{\sqrt{2\cdot sin\,x}=tan\,x\qquad\quad(i)}$

Restriction for the solution:

$\left\{ \begin{array}{l} \mathsf{sin\,x\ge 0}\\\\ \mathsf{tan\,x\ge 0} \end{array} \right.$

Square both sides of (i):

$\mathsf{(\sqrt{2\cdot sin\,x})^2=(tan\,x)^2}\\\\ \mathsf{2\cdot sin\,x=tan^2\,x}\\\\ \mathsf{2\cdot sin\,x-tan^2\,x=0}\\\\ \mathsf{\dfrac{2\cdot sin\,x\cdot cos^2\,x}{cos^2\,x}-\dfrac{sin^2\,x}{cos^2\,x}=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{\dfrac{sin\,x}{cos^2\,x}\cdot \left(2\,cos^2\,x-sin\,x \right )=0\qquad\quad but~~cos^2 x=1-sin^2 x}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{sin\,x}{cos^2\,x}\cdot \left[2\cdot (1-sin^2\,x)-sin\,x \right]=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{\dfrac{sin\,x}{cos^2\,x}\cdot \left[2-2\,sin^2\,x-sin\,x \right]=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{-\,\dfrac{sin\,x}{cos^2\,x}\cdot \left[2\,sin^2\,x+sin\,x-2 \right]=0}\\\\\\ \mathsf{sin\,x\cdot \left[2\,sin^2\,x+sin\,x-2 \right]=0}$

Let

$\mathsf{sin\,x=t\qquad (0\le t$

So the equation becomes

$\mathsf{t\cdot (2t^2+t-2)=0\qquad\quad (ii)}\\\\ \begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{t=0}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{2t^2+t-2=0} \end{array}$

Solving the quadratic equation:

$\mathsf{2t^2+t-2=0}\quad\longrightarrow\quad\left\{ \begin{array}{l} \mathsf{a=2}\\ \mathsf{b=1}\\ \mathsf{c=-2} \end{array} \right.$

$\mathsf{\Delta=b^2-4ac}\\\\ \mathsf{\Delta=1^2-4\cdot 2\cdot (-2)}\\\\ \mathsf{\Delta=1+16}\\\\ \mathsf{\Delta=17}$

$\mathsf{t=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{t=\dfrac{-1\pm\sqrt{17}}{2\cdot 2}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{t=\dfrac{-1\pm\sqrt{17}}{4}}\\\\\\ \begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{t=\dfrac{-1+\sqrt{17}}{4}}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{t=\dfrac{-1-\sqrt{17}}{4}} \end{array}$

You can discard the negative value for t. So the solution for (ii) is

$\begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{t=0}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{t=\dfrac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}} \end{array}$

Substitute back for t = sin x. Remember the restriction for x:

$\begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{sin\,x=0}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{sin\,x=\dfrac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}}\\\\ \mathsf{x=0+k\cdot 180^\circ}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{x=arcsin\bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4}\bigg)+k\cdot 360^\circ}\\\\\\ \mathsf{x=k\cdot 180^\circ}&\textsf{ or }&\mathsf{x=51.33^\circ +k\cdot 360^\circ}\quad\longleftarrow\quad\textsf{solution.} \end{array}$

where k is an integer.

I hope this helps. =)
