Answer:

f⁻¹(19) = 1

Explanation:

We have given a function.

f(x)= 5(x+4) -6

We have to find the inverse function when x = 19.

f⁻¹(x) = ? and f⁻¹(19) = ?

Putting f(x) = y in given function, we have

y = 5(x+4)-6

Separating x from above equation, we have

(y+6)/5 = x+4

(y+6)/5 -4 = x

Swapping above equation, we have

x = (y+6)/5-4

x = y+6-20 / 5

x = y-14 / 5

Putting x = f⁻¹(y) in above equation, we have

f⁻¹(y) = y-14/5

f⁻¹(x) = x-14/5

Putting x= 19 in above equation , we have

f⁻¹(19) =19-14/5

f⁻¹(19) = 5 / 5

f⁻¹(19) = 1 which is the answer.

Answer:

1 is the answer.

Explanation:

Given is a function as


f(x)= 5(x+4) -6 is given

Solve for x in terms of f(x) to get inverse


f(x)+6 = 5x+205x=f(x)-14


x=(f(x)-14)/(5)

Replace x by f inverse and f(x) by x to get inverse


f^(-1) (x)=(x-14)/(5)

This would be the inverse of x.

Now substitute x=19, to find f inverse of 19


f^(-1) (x)=(19-14)/(5)\\=1

Hence answer is 1.
