If mc029-1.jpg, what is the equation for –1(x) ?

 

A.) f -1(x) = 4x + 3
B.) f -1(x) = 4x - 3 
C.) f -1(x) = 4(x - 3) 
D.) f -1(x) = 4(x + 3)

f(x) =  (1/4) x + 3      write f(x)  as y

 

y = (1/4)x + 3      the object is to get x by itself and then  "exchange" x and y

 

Subtract 3 from both sides

 

y - 3  = (1/4)x     multiply both sides by 4

 

4y - 12 = x        "exchange"   x and y

 

4x - 12   = y

 

For y, write f-1 (x)

 

4x - 12  =  f-1(x)   = 4(x - 3)    =   "C"

 

 

cool cool cool
