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

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = 2x+1$

Replace it with y

$y = 2x+1$

Exchange the values of x and y

$x = 2y+1$

Solve for y

$x = 2y+1$

Subtracting 1 from both sides

$2y = x-1$

Dividing both sides by 2

$y = \frac{x-1}{2}$

Replace it by $f^{-1}$

So,

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