Answer:

The correct step that we need to do next in order to find the inverse of a function is:

D) Solve for y

Explanation:

If we are given a function f(x) and we are asked to find it's inverse then first we put the function f(x)=y

Then we switch the places of x and y and finally we solve for y to find the required inverse function.

For example if we are given a function f(x) by:


f(x)=x+(3)/(2)

Then we find the inverse as follows:

  • Put
    f(x)=y

i.e.


y=x+(3)/(2)

  • Next we switch the x and y value i.e.


x=y+(3)/(2)

  • Lastly we solve for y as follows:

We subtract both side by 3/2 to get:


y=x-(3)/(2)

Hence, the inverse of function f(x) is:


g(x)=x-(3)/(2)
