Question

If
f(x) = 13x + 1, then
f-1(x) =

Answer 1

f(x) = 13x + 1

To find the inverse let f(x) = y

y = 13x + 1

x = 13y + 1

13y = x - 1

y = (x-1)/13

The inverse is x-1/13.

Answer 2

(x-1)/13

Explanation:

y = 13x+1

To find the inverse, exchange x and y

x = 13y+1

Solve for y

Subtract 1 from each side

x-1 =13y+1-1

x-1 = 13y

Divide each side by 13

(x-1)/13 = y

The inverse is (x-1)/13
