Q. For the function f(x)=3(x−4), find f−1(x).f−1(x)=3(x+4)f−1(x)=3(x−4)f−1(x)=3(x+4)f−1(x)=3x+4
Rewrite with y: To find the inverse function, f−1(x), we need to switch the roles of x and y in the original function and then solve for y. Let's start by rewriting the function with y instead of f(x):y=3x−4
Switch x and y: Now, we switch x and y to find the inverse: x=3y−4
Eliminate denominator: Next, we solve for y by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the denominator: 3x=y−4
Isolate y: Then, we add 4 to both sides of the equation to isolate y: 3x+4=y
Write inverse function: Now that we have y by itself, we can write the inverse function: f−1(x)=3x+4
