Explanation:

You can take the inverse of a function by replacing all x-values in the equation with y-values and vice versa and subsequently solving for y:

Equation given:


f(x) = (-x)/(x+2)

Replace all x-values with y and all y-values with x:


x = (-y)/(y+2)

Solve for y:


x(y+2) = -y\\\\xy + 2x = -y\\\\2x = -y - xy\\\\2x = y(-1+-x)\\\\-(2x)/(x+1) =y

This is the inverse of f(x), where x ≠ 2..
