Question

If G(x) = 3x + 1, then G -1(1) is 4 3/1 0

Answer 1

$g(x)=3x+1\to y=3x+1$

change x to y, and y to x

$x=3y+1$

solve for y

$3y+1=x\ \ \ \ |-1\\\\3y=x-1\ \ \ \ |:3\\\\y=\dfrac{x-1}{3}$

therefore:

$g^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x-1}{3}$

put the value of x = 1 to the equation:

$g^{-1}(1)=\dfrac{1-1}{3}=\dfrac{0}{3}=0$

Answer: 0
