Question

Find the inverse function of m(x) = 5x - 5 A m-1(x) = 5x + 5 B m-1(x) = -5x + 5 C m-1(x) = x+5/5 D m-1(x) = x+5/-5x

Answer 1

Switch your X and Y =

x = 5y - 5

Add 5 to both sides

x +5 = 5y

Divide both sides by 5

M -1 (x) = x+5/5

Answer 2

Hi there!


`m(x) = 5x - 5`
First replace m(x) by y.


`y = 5x - 5`
To find the inverse function we must switch the places from the variables x and y.


`x = 5y - 5`
Now we need to isolate the y again to find the formula of the inverse function. First add 5 to both sides.


`x + 5 = 5y`
Switch sides.


`5y = x + 5`
And finally divide both sides by 5.


`y = (x + 5)/(5)`
And therefore we can conclude the following:


`m {}^( - 1) (x) = (x + 5)/(5)`
The answer is C.
