The inverse of a function is given as √x - 1
<h3>Inverse of a function</h3>
To get the inverse of any function f(x) we need to ensure that it passes the horizontal line test.
Given the following function
f(x) = (x+1)^2
Let y= f(x) to have:
y = (x+1)^2
Replace y with x to have:
x = (y+1)^2
Make y the subject of the formula
√x =y + 1
Subtract 1 from both sides
√x - 1 = y
Swap
y = √x - 1
Hence the inverse of a function is given as √x - 1

Ok, a fun hack
if f⁻¹(a)=b then f(b)=a
so if f⁻¹(7)=b then f(b)=7
to find b, find x such that f(x)=7
7=0.5(3)^x
times both sides by 2 (or divide both sides by 0.5)
14=3^x
take log₃ of both sides

Answer:
46 sides in all
Step-by-step explanation:
2 pentgons would have 10 sides
5 hexagons would have 30 sides
2 triangles 6 sides
Step-by-step explanation:
16 - 4(3x - 5)
16 - 12x + 20
12x = 16 + 20
12x = 36
x = 36/12
x = 3
