What is the inverse of the function f(x) = one-quarterx – 12? h(x) = 48x – 4 h(x) = 48x + 4 h(x) = 4x – 48 h(x) = 4x + 48

Answer:

h(x) = 4x+48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) = 1/4x -12. To get the inverse of the function, first we will let y = f(x) to have y = 1/4x - 12.

Then we will make x the subject of the formula as shown:

y = 1/4x - 12

adding 12 to both sides we have;

y + 12= 1/4x - 12 + 12

y + 12 = 1/4x

Multiplying both sides by 4 we have;

4(y+12) = x

x = 4y + 48

Substituting y for x

y = 4x+48

f^-1(x) = 4x+48

h(x) = 4x+48

Thee final expression will give the inverse of the function
