FUNCTIONS - 4



If F(x) = 10x - 6; Find F-1(44).

Solution

HINT: F-1(x) means inverse.

PROCEDURE:
i)1st find the inverse

ii)Then make x the subject and 

iii)then interchange x and y variables.

Let y=F(x)

So,  y= 10x - 6

y + 6 = 10x

y + 6  =   10x
   10        10

y + 6   = x
   10

x  =   y + 6      after rearranging
           10

 y-1 = x + 6      after interchanging x and y variables.
             10

F-1(x) =  x + 6      rewriting  y-1  as F-1(x) .
                10

F-1(44) =  44+ 6      after interchanging x and y variables.
                   10

             = 50
                10

              = 5



Hence, F-1(44) = 5        answer


QUIZ

1.  IF(x) = 33x - 51; Find F-1(-2).
