Switch Roles and Solve: To find the inverse of the function f(x)=8x+1, 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=8x+1. Now, we replace y with x and x with y to get x0.
Replace Variables and Simplify: Next, we need to solve for y in terms of x. To do this, we will first subtract 1 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with y.x−1=8y+1−1x−1=8y
Isolate y and Divide: Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for y.8x−1=88yy=8x−1
Final Inverse Function: The function we have now, y=8x−1, is the inverse of the original function f(x)=8x+1. We can denote the inverse function as f−1(x). So, f−1(x)=8x−1.
