Let f(x)=3x+4 and g(x)=2x-3. If h(x)=f(g(x)), then what is the inverse of h(x)?
Let f(x)=3x+4 and g(x)=2x-3. If h(x)=f(g(x)), then what is the inverse of h(x)?
f(g(x)) means to put the function g into f
h(x) = f(g(x)) = 3 [ 2x - 3 ] + 4 = 6x - 9 + 4 = 6x - 5
So
h(x) = 6x - 5 for h(x), write y
y = 6x - 5 we want to get x by itself...add 5 to both sides
y + 5 = 6x divide both sides by 6
[ y + 5 ] / 6 = x "swap" x and y
[ x + 5 ] / 6 = y and this is the inverse of h
