Question

Write the inverse function for the function, ƒ(x) =1/2 x + 4. Then, find the value of ƒ -1(4). Type your answers in the box.

ƒ -1(x) =

ƒ -1(4) =

Answer 1

0

Explanation:

Given that f(x) = 1/2x + 4

Let y = f(x)

y = 1/2 x + 4

Replace y with x

x = 1/2 y + 4

Make y the subject of the formula

1/2y = x - 4

y = 2(x-4)

If x = 3

y = 2(4-4)

y = 2(0)

y = 0

Hence ƒ -1(4) is 0
