To find the inverse function of a function, you rearrange for the x term (could be some other letter) and then swap the function and the x at the end. For example,


g(x)=15x-10 \Rightarrow x=(g(x)+10)/(15) and so,


g^(-1)(x) = (x+10)/(15).

For part 3 we have


h(x)=(x-12)/(4) \Rightarrow x=4h(x)+12 and hence,


h^(-1)(x)=4x+12=4(x+3)

Can you do part 4 on your own?
