Q. What is the inverse of the functionf(x)=x+7−2x+2?f−1(x)=□
Switching Roles: To find the inverse of the function f(x), we need to switch the roles of x and f(x) and then solve for the new x. Let y=f(x), so we have: y=x+7−2x+2 Now we switch x and y: x=y+7−2y+2
Multiplying to Eliminate Denominator: Next, we need to solve for y. To do this, we'll multiply both sides of the equation by (y+7) to eliminate the denominator:x(y+7)=−2y+2xy+7x=−2y+2
Moving Terms to Isolate y: Now, we'll move all terms involving y to one side and the constant terms to the other side:xy+2y=2−7xy(x+2)=2−7x
Dividing to Isolate y: To isolate y, we divide both sides by (x+2):y=x+22−7x
Inverse Function: This gives us the inverse function of f(x):f−1(x)=x+22−7x
