Given:


f(x)=(1)/(4x+10)

Required:

To find the inverse of a givne function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given function


f(x)=(1)/(4x+10)
y=(1)/(4x+10)

Swap x and y, we get


x=(1)/(4y+10)

Now solve for y.


\begin{gathered} 4y+10=(1)/(x) \\ \\ 4y=(1)/(x)-10 \\ \\ y=(1)/(4x)-(10)/(4) \\ \\ y=(1)/(4x)-(5)/(2) \end{gathered}

Now


\begin{gathered} f^(-1)(x)=(1)/(4x)-(5)/(2) \\ \\ =(1-10x)/(4x) \end{gathered}

Final Answer:


f^(-1)(x)=(1)/(4x)-(5)/(2)
