Answer:

Explanation below, despite missing details in question.

Explanation:

The function isn't given but we know it's labelled "f".

The inverse of a function (likewise the inverse of any other quantity) is simply the function turned up-side-down.

To invert a function, you switch the places of both numerator and denominator. Example:

f =
(x)/(y)

the inverse of the function above is y/x

If the function is not in fraction form or doesn't have a visible denominator, take the denominator to be 1.

The denominator of every number or function is 1, so you'll be correct doing this.

If f = 2n +5 then the inverse of f will be
(1)/(2n + 5)

NOTE: Inverse of f 1/f
f^(-1)
