Question

If (fx)=5x, what is f^-1(x)

Answer 1

x/5

Explanation:

To get the inverse function you need to leave the x alone and then switch variables ( f(x) = y)

f(x) = 5x

y = 5x

y/5 = x

Now that x is alone you switch the x for y and the y for x and you get:

x/5 = y

And this new y is the inverse function of f(x) ( f^-1(x))

f^-1(x) = x/5
