Q. What is the inverse of the functionf(x)=x+96x−5?f−1(x)=□
Switching roles and solving for x: To find the inverse of the function f(x)=x+96x−5, 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+96x−5. Now, we replace y with x to get x=y+96y−5.
Eliminating the denominator: Next, we solve for y by multiplying both sides of the equation by (y+9) to eliminate the denominator.x(y+9)=6y−5xy+9x=6y−5
Rearranging the equation: Now, we need to get all the terms with y on one side and the constants on the other side.xy−6y=−5−9xy(x−6)=−5−9x
Isolating y: To isolate y, we divide both sides of the equation by (x−6).y=x−6−5−9x
Expressing the inverse function: Finally, we express the inverse function as f−1(x). f−1(x)=x−6−5−9x
