Question

If f(x)=6x-8, then f^-1(x)=

Answer 1

f(x) is another way to write y.

You have y = 6x - 8.

To find the inverse, switch the x and the y and solve for the new y.

Switching gives you x = 6y - 8.

You add 8 to both sides to give you 6y = x + 8.

Divide both sides by 6 gives you the inverse as y =1/6x + 4/3
