FUNCTIONS 4


If F(x) = 8x + 10; Find F-1(90).

Solution

HINT: F-1(x) means inverse.

PROCEDURE:
Make x the subject and then interchange x and y variables.

Let y=F(x)

So,  y= 8x + 10

y – 10 = 8x

y – 10  = 8x
   8          8

y – 10   = x
   8

x  =   y – 10     after rearranging
           8

 y-1 = x – 10     after interchanging x and y variables.
             8

F-1(x) = x – 10     after interchanging x and y variables.
                8

Now we calculate F-1(90) as hereunder;

F-1(90) = 90 – 10     
                   8

F-1(90) =  80      
                8

F-1(90) =  10      [after dividing 80 by 8]
                


Hence, F-1(90) =  10      
                              


TRY THIS……………………………



If F(x) = 7x + 20; Find F-1(4).
