ANSWER


{f}^( - 1) (x) = (x - 2)/(4)

Step-by-step explanation

The given function is

f(x)=4x+2

To find the inverse, we let

y=4x+2

Then, interchange x and y.

x=4y+2

Solve for y,

x-2=4y.

Divide both sides by 4


y = (x - 2)/(4)

Hence, the inverse is:


{f}^( - 1) (x) = (x - 2)/(4)

Hello!

The answer is:

The first option,


f^(-1)(x)=(x-2)/(4)

Why?

To find the inverse of a function, we need to rewrite the variable "x" with "y" and the variable "y" with "x", and then, isolate "y".

We are given the function:


f(x)=4x+2

Write "f(x)" is equal to write "y", so:


y=4x+2

Now, finding the inverse, we have:


y=4x+2\\x=4y+2\\x-2=4y\\y=(x-2)/(4)

Hence, we have that the answer is the first option,


f^(-1)(x)=(x-2)/(4)

Have a nice day!
