Question

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

Answer 1

To find the inverse of a function, we switch out every x for a y and vice-versa.

Original: y = 4x + 8

Flipped: x = 4y + 8

Now, we solve for y again to put this equation into slope-intercept form.

x = 4y + 8

4y = x - 8

y = 1/4x - 2

h(x) = 1/4x - 2

Hope this helps!
