FUNCTIONS 1


If F(x) = 8x + 20; Find F-1(x).

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 + 20

y – 20 = 8x

y – 20  = 8x
   8          8

y – 20   = x
   8

x  =   y – 20     after rearranging
           8

 y-1 = x – 20     after interchanging x and y variables.
             8

F-1(x) = x – 20     after interchanging x and y variables.
                8

Hence, F-1(x) = x – 20     
                              8

TRY THIS……………………………


If F(x) = 2x - 26; Find F-1(x).
