Question

What is the inverse function f(x)=1/4x-2

Answer 1

The inverse function of the function above is f(x) = 4x + 8

You can find the inverse to any function by switching the x and f(x) values. After that, solve for the new f(x) value. The result will be the inverse function. The step-by-step process for this one is done below for you.

f(x) = 1/4x - 2 ----> Start by switching the f(x) and x

x = 1/4f(x) - 2 ----> Now add 2 to both sides

x + 2 = 1/4f(x) ----> Now multiply both sides by 4

f(x) = 4x + 8

Now that you've solved it for the new f(x), you have your inverse function.
