Answer:
{2, 8}
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find x for ...
15 = 4|x -5| +3
12 = 4|x -5| . . . . subtract 3
3 = |x -5| . . . . . . divide by 4
±3 = x -5 . . . . . . show the meaning of absolute value
5 ±3 = x = {2, 8} . . . . . add 5
The values of x for which f(x) = 15 are 2 and 8.
The inverse of this function would be f(x) = .
You can find the value of any inverse function by switching the f(x) and the x value. Then you can solve for the new f(x) value. The end result will be your new inverse function. The step-by-step process is below.
f(x) = - 6 ----> Switch f(x) and x
x = - 6 ----> Add 6 to both sides
x + 6 = -----> Take the logarithm of both sides in order to get the f(x) out of the exponent
Log(x + 6) = f(x)Log2 ----> Now divide both sides by Log2
= f(x) ----> And switch the order for formatting purposes.
f(x) =
And that would be your new inverse function.
