Answer:


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

Explanation:

the inverse function of the function f(x)=4x+8

To find inverse function do the following steps

step 1: Replace f(x) with y

y = 4x+8

step 2: Replace x with y and y with x

x= 4y +8

step 3: solve for y

x = 4y +8

Subtract 8 from both sides

x-8 = 4y

divide by 4 on both sides


(x-8)/(4) = y

Divide each term by 4


y=(x)/(4) - 2

Step 4 : Replace y with f^-1(x)


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