5/2x+4
f(x) = (5/2)x + 4
y = (5/2)x + 4
x = (5/2)y + 4
(5/2)y = x - 4
y = (2/5)x - (4)(2/5)
y = (2/5) x - (8/5)
f^-1(x) = (2/5)x - (8/5)
How to find the inverse of a function:
STEP 1: Stick a "y" in for the "f(x)."
STEP 2: Switch the x and y.
STEP 3: Solve for y.
STEP 4: Stick | ![]() |
in for the "y." |
THEN, CHECK IT!
